You know, it is really more about metropolitan mentality vs rural than it is region vs region. California has a lot of big city populace to outweigh their small towns and countryside. I, too, would love to see the electoral college abolished but am not holding my breath.

Funny!

The electoral college was designed as an oversight of our election process. It wasn't based on slavery it was based on distrust of the common voter. The Senate was established to give slave states equal representation in one congressional body and the 3/5 rule was a compromise to give those same states more representation in the House of Representatives. That compromise also gave them a greater number of electoral votes.

The purpose for the electoral college was to insure that we, the people, didn't elect a demagogue who would profit from the presidency at the expense of the country. It is obviously a failure.

I’m glad we have the current system as it’s kept us from having Al Gore and Hillary Clinton as president. A Californian’s vote shouldn’t count as much as some of the others as a lot of them just don’t have any sense and even allow illegals to vote. @gater

An antiquated system that does not serve the population.

more than 60% of all VOTERS, only decide about 40% of the SENATE SEATS.

In that respect, so is the senate.
