you are so quick to jump on your high horse, and use ANY reason to go 'south bashing'. all i did was say that the EC is what it is-you're too quick to assume every and anything-and to automatically assume that it's the dreaded south who's responsible.
it doesn't need my aid, the house and senate can get rid of it with a 2/3rds majority, which hasn't happened. the senate voted on it fairly recently, 52-48 was the split. i'd imagine states like idaho, delaware, north and south dakota and hawaii voted it down-it's those states, and other relatively small states population-wise who want to keep the current system.
go read that link, you might learn something. or not.
