>>Sorry to hear that, but, at least under the Electoral College, all votes for Gore in States that Bush won [including yours] are meaningless. Same goes for all the Bush votes in Gore States. If we were to amend the Constitution to go strictly by the overall popular vote nation-wide, each vote would count the same. If I lived in Florida, a vote for Bush or Gore would be much more valuable.

So true. I would like to see it changed in all States [like some other do] where the popular vote winner gets the 2 Senate Electoral votes, and the winner in each Congressional District get that Electoral vote. That would not require a US Constitutional change and be more representative.
