MM - People always say that getting rid of the Electoral College would mean that candidates would stop paying attention to the smaller states. But I have to ask. How often during a general campaign do you see the candidates in Montana or Wyoming? How about North Dakota? Not often. The candidates concentrate their efforts on the big electoral prizes. That's where the votes are. The way things are, voters in those small states actually have a disproportionate say in the outcome of elections, since each elector represents a much smaller number of voters there. - Allen
