>As Ken said we are a Republic. We have a representative system. What they should do IMO is something like the Senate. Every state has the same number of votes. In the Electoral College, it should be one state, one vote. Bush won 29 states (w/Florida and Oregon still up in the air). He should win.

Why should arbitrary state lines dictate whose vote counts for more? In your system, an Alaskan's vote is worth several thousand times my vote. Where's the sense in that?

>44% of the population of the US lives in only 7 states (CA, TX, NY, IL, FL, PA, OH). The interests of these states should not dictate policy for the whole.

And why not? Again why should state lines mean anything? Everybody in this country is exaclty one citizen with one voice, and the Electoral system does not reflect that. State lines drawn centuries ago do not even accurately reflect regional ideologies, why should these lines dictate the power of a vote? BTW, Texas' state charter allows that it can divide itself into as many as five separate states if it ever decides. In your system, that move would quintuple Texas' voting power.
