Considering that individual States have differing demographics and interests, California shouldn't be able to overrule everyone else. I'm a Washingtonian, why should Texas be able to make my state's voice moot? The door swings both ways on this, it's not just a "Republican States overriding Democratic States" thing.

I also stand by my statement that voters in general are stupid and don't know what's best for them. They just listen to whatever politicians need to lie about for their vote. The Electoral College is supposed to make a good decision on behalf of the voters. Just like we elect legislators to make decisions for us, because Joe and Jane Schmoe are too busy fighting for survival to be able to educate themselves properly on the nuances of things like economics, foreign policy, tax law, etc.

When Athens became a true democracy, it was the beginning of the end.
