The EC should have been abolished decades ago. I remember in 2000 people trying to explain how the guy with the most votes can still lose didn't pass my bullsh!t detector. That would be like in football, the winner was determined by who had the most yards instead of points.
Democrats and Republicans should both be against it. Democrats were screwed over in 2000, but in 2004 the Republicans could have been screwed over even harder. All Kerry needed was 120,000 votes in Ohio and he would have won. Yes, John Kerry who lost the popular vote by 3 million votes would have been president.
Also, do the small states really matter anyway? When was the last time a candidate went to Wyoming or Rhode Island? When was the last time those states were battlegrounds?
Get rid of EC.
