Electoral College Reform

Looks like some former congressmen are looking to reform the electoral college. It'll never happen, but bravo to them for trying.

From the article:

"Critics, however, say changing the Electoral College system would reduce the influence of smaller states"

Wrong. Scrapping the electoral college would make it neccessary for candidates to run a national campaign. Candidates wouldn't visit swing states like Wisconsin and Iowa so much, but guess what? The influence of these states is INFLATED. It SHOULD be reduced.

And Democrats in Texas, and to be fair, Republicans in New York, should be able to cast votes that matter in a presidential race, which they can't under the current system.

While I'm dreaming, we should reform the Senate as well. The 12 people in Vermont should have as much representation as the 60 million in California? My ass.
