Time to dump the Electoral College

[YL]

I'm against the electoral voting system.  It needs to be abolished, and a congressional district voting system like Nebraska and Maine ought to be enacted.  Or use the house district map for the votes.

This is a worse idea than the current Electoral College, because of gerrymandering.  For example: North Carolina, which cast more votes for Obama than McCain, yet McCain won 10 of its 13 current districts. 

Quite, and it might well encourage more gerrymandering.  Indeed, hasn't the Omaha district been deliberately made a bit harder for Obama to win?

Gerrymandering is a far worse problem with the US political system than the Electoral College IMO.

As awkwardly as they're drawn/gerrymandered, you've shown absolutely nothing that suggests that these districts are actually highly unrepresentative. Because they're frankly not. If California voted 55% Republican and you got that map, you'd have a case.

What about the Pennsylvania one?  Or North Carolina with the new map, as mentioned in another post.

Also, moving to the Maine-Nebraska system increases the motivation for gerrymandering.
