Which would be a mob rule, a democracy with no representation for the minority.
the minority have no say now ...unless yo mean the filthy rich minority.
And if the EC is removed then it will be none at all.
Well Im not for totally removing the EC....but the idea that it somehow gives representation to the minority, as set up now, is pure bunk.
Don't take my word for it, do some research on it yourself.
There are too many in this nation who do not understand it at all.
someone above gave some pretty interesting stats on how "battleground" states get more federal largess....and those aren't the flyover states....
2010 Census - State Population and the Distribution of Electoral Votes and Representatives
Notice that Texas gained 4
AZ gained 1
New York lost 2
Illinois lost 1
and so on.
The Electoral College - How It Works Today
Each state is given a set number of Electors, determined by the number of the its U.S. Congressmen. The number of Representatives in each state correlates with the state population and is amended every decade when the Census is taken.
This means that AZ gained 1 and could very well go blue for electoral college votes in 2016 because a large minority of Hispanics moved to AZ in the last 10 years.
Hispanics tend to vote for Dem's more than Repubs.
