So now I don't get a vote?

Different, but more important? Because a farmer's vote carrying more weight (through a skewed Electorate system) than a city dweller's vote is putting more importance on his opinions than the city dweller. How can that be democratic? Do people who live in urban lofts not deserve the same and equal say in guiding their nation's political processes as farm folk out in the country? And we're talking about electing the Commander in Chief here, not voting on specific legislation concerning the farmer. He has state representatives to do that for him. So nobody is going to be silenced, because individual matters like farm subsidies, land use rights, etc. are all being handled by state and local reps.
