I'm sure E.C. still have many good points. But since then the political environment has changed a lot. Now Black can vote, yellow and red can vote (thank God, now I can vote too!), and even women get to vote these days. <gg> When did women start to vote? I believe it is not that long ago... So we've come a long way and we've amended many laws along the way. I feel it is time to amend one more... And States, I think it was more like loose federation back then and each state governed themselves more like a little country...(please correct me if I'm wrong, always slept through history classes.) But now, we think of a nation first not the state, no? I've moved around a lot but never thought as becoming a Californian from Floridian or Virginian. I am an American, that's it. If president was elected by general popular vote, I think more people will come out and vote. As here in California, we already knew what's gonna happen, I had to drag my self to vote. (Don't you just hate when your vote is wiped out by E.C?) I want my vote to at least reach the destination. My vote got killed in the middle...
