right now, because a person lives in Ca. their vote counts much more than does a person's vote who lives in Maine

Actually, you can do the math and break this all down by race, which is what I reported on four or five years ago in my blog. The electoral college, in essence, makes white votes worth something north of 1.1 votes each, which is a big deal when you get to 100 million voters.

Ah, to be white, male, and German, like me. We're thinking of suing for reparations during Vance's first term. My German cousins got hosed after WW II, so we need some recompense.
