re: Sparsely populated states are states nevertheless. It isn't fair that we have ZERO say. The EC is one critical way that we have at least SOME input into the process. You are from AR, right? You have 6 electoral votes, so your per capita influence is actually diluted by the smaller states that get a minimum of 3. Frankly, I think the effect might be the opposite. Right now these guys just need to win in the big battleground states, by a slim majority, so they fight in those states for each vote. If every vote from every state counted the same, you might see them more in AR. At any rate, I didn't intend to get into a 10 post discussion of this, it's not an importnat issue to me. And I don't think it's a Dem/Rep issue, or a Conservative/Liberal issue. I think it's just an issue of what works best, and allows each vote to count the same. MHO, that would be the popular vote.
