   Which, by snipping and ignoring, you default on the arguments.   
   No debate points for you, Sparky.

   Bogus. Not only aren't the "good people" NOT disenfranchised,   
   but because THEY and the "good people" of the Rocky Mtn and   
   southern states have disproportional political clout in the EC   
   and Senate, they get MORE moneys BACK than they send to DC,   
   unlike those large pop states like NY and Cal, who are   
   effectively outvoted despite their larger populations.

   Bogus. NY and Cal have as diverse a voting population as   
   anywhere; I, for example, live in a rural upstate NY community,   
   conveniently gerrymandered to give Republicans disproportionate   
   clout. There are NO liberal elites here! But since states don't   
   vote as blocs anyway, your argument is bogus. Just let each   
   voter have ONE vote and all will be as it should be, based on   
   INDIVIDUAL voters getting ENfranchised.

   False, and laughably so, blatant asserter.   
      
   Oh, and why NOBODY bothers to campaign for president in states   
   where the winner-take-all result is foregone; since a dem is   
   assumed to win in Mass and NY, and lose in Texas and Wyoming,   
   why bother to "hear" the minority of voters there, no matter HOW   
   large, as they get ZERO representation in the final EC count?   
   Without an EC, EVERY vote would count, from anywhere, and six   
   dem votes in Texas would beat five repub votes in NY, so it   
   would be important to campaign and win everywhere!
