>>I have heard about that and still consider it tinkering around the margins. IMO the Electoral College should be as dead as lamplights and roadsters. One "man," one vote. If we really are the united states let's at least try to act like it.

That's because this is a federation, which is why there are two chambers. One filled on a state-by-state basis, where all states were considered equal, and one by popular vote. In 1992-2006, while Serbia and Montenegro were a federation (leftover from the six-member Yugoslavia), this worked the same way. Even though the population was about 16:1 (by citizenship; out of about 1 million Montenegrins, roughly a half were citizens of Serbia), in the Chamber of Republics they had votes split 50:50. In the Chamber of Citizens, however, it was one electoral circuit, one MP.

It worked swimmingly - we celebrated 29th of november throughout, even though that was the previous federation's holiday, simply because whenever it was on the agenda, the Montenegrins wouldn't show up :).
