The candidates would NOT even bother going to the small states if it weren't for the E.C. They would just hit all the big Metro's. This insures the Candidates visit every state so the people can see them.

Small state or large, big city or out in the country, most people only see the candidates on TV.

STATES should have a least a Minimum vote of 3.

Just like each state has 2 Senators to level the playing field in the Senate.


Why should 2 very small states get more representation then one state that is also small but has more population then both of them put together? I think constituionally the states are responsible for more then they actually are in practice, I'm all for "states rights", but we are one nation not an aliance of states. Why should smaller states have more representation in congress or in the electoral college then their share of the population?

Personally I would prefer a unicameral legislature. That way you would get laws passed by the legislative body as a whole not by some conference committee ironing out differences between the house and senate bills. It would probably have slightly lower costs as well (although not enough to be of great signifigance to the nation). The potential downside is that bad laws could probably pass faster. Having congress in two parts acts as one of our governments "checks and balances".
