Electoral College Effects

[redietz]

Long time hater of the electoral college. Seems to contradict the "one man one vote" idea. I have never been able to understand its purpose, especially this many years later, but it would take a constitutional amendment to change it. I think if abolished, it would encourage a higher voter turn-out in some states. For example in Illinois, it is pretty much a waste of time to go out and vote for a republican presidential candidate. Your vote, and time, would be wasted. Without the EC your vote would at least count.

Same in Tennessee, regnis, but the other way (origin point of the KKK; state gun and all that). I could vote 10,000 times either way and it wouldn't matter.
