scuds needs to go back to civics class. the electoral college was put in place so that each state would have a voice, and no state would be marginalized. you have to understand that back when all that was put in place, the federal govt was viewed as a necessary evil to keep a fairly loose conglomeration of states united under one 'leader'. but most didn't want states rights to lose out to a large federal govt-which is exactly what we have now. states won't try to break away from the feds now on anything, since everyone is hooked onto the govt teat financially...
