The Electoral College system gives more influence to smaller states, and a better balance for Presidential elections.
not really....
i don't care much about the EC (since the majority of states or politicans seems to prefer it....pick your poison)....but the only question is WHICH states are important.
in fact the EC doesn't give power to small states - but a handful of lucky possible swing states, while the majority of small states gets ignored like the overwhelming majority of all american votes.
on the positive side...now that iowa becomes hard-titanium-R, the ethanol subsidies are going to disappear.....and maybe the "first in the nation" status too.
