Popular vote is a STRAW man argument, and I hate hearing it.

Look at voting statistics nationwide. LOOK precinct by precinct....

The Electoral College works pretty good, but a more TRUE representation of what folks really want would be an EC based on Precincts and not districts.

When an entire urban area votes one way because they are constantly TOLD what they will no longer be getting from Uncle Sam, that is not what I would consider a FAIR or FREE election. WOULD you cut off the hand that feeds you?

The VAST majority of this country, DEMOGRAPHICALLY speaking are disgusted with the handout mentality.

The VAST majority of URBAN centers DEMOGRAPHICALLY speaking are SCARED to DEATH of eliminating the handout mentality.
