[QUOTE="7thKeeper, post: 77630290, member: 154764"] I do not understand this point. President is federal position, serving all the states. How is a vote in a smaller state lessened compared to a vote in a larger state? Both have equal say, and state specific issues are more down to state governments and Senate/House than the president. This was listed as a con for popular vote, but isn't this a con for electoral college? The voting remains the same, so discussions of non-citizens voting is the same in both systems. In the proposed system, the electoral college still exists beneath the popular vote. Voting is still done on a state level. Nothing changes in these two systems. Isn't this a pure electoral college system con and not a popular vote con? Or at the very least, it's the same issue in both systems of where you choose to campaign for the maximum amount of votes. Doesn't seem to change in either system to me. [/QUOTE]
