cjac - What you say is true, but the following is the proposal - ...Sort of a compromise between the Electoral College and the popular vote - let each U.S. Congressional district have one vote, and report that vote directly to Congress. It eliminates the silly aspects of each state having a vote while solving the problems of direct popular vote. The President would need to win a simple majority of the votes of the Congressional districts. The most populous states wouldn't have excessive influence, and neither would the biggest cities - because each Congressional district is apportioned so that each of them has roughly the same population. This is apparently meant to completely replace the electoral college and would give each state an influence directly proportional to population, assuming that all districts are roughly equal size. This could be modified, but in the end, we are not the United Districts of America. Regards, Don
