So what am I missing?
Currently our votes are tallied and then used to assign our electoral votes. The electoral votes are then used to help decide the president.
Under this new plan, no matter who I (or every other resident of this state) votes for our electoral votes go to whatever candidate gets the most votes nationally? WTF??? How messed up is that? I just keep thinking I must be missing something.
