OK, there are certain states that seem to often go against their regions, regardless of pary preferences, like New Hampshire in the Northeast, Tennessee in the South, or Montana in the West.

Regardless of why, these examples show that the US still is a federal republic, a collection of different states. In my opnion, this provides a reasonable rationale to continue with the current method of electing a President. An electoral college that requires the winner to win many different states, rather than go to a popular vote winner in a single national election .
