So now I don't get a vote?

I get it now, I still don't like it, but at least I get it. This is a push to end run the college nationally not locally.

I'm also not sure why we decided to start this, the whole point of the electoral college is to protect the rights of the little states and given them a voice. Last I checked we ain't no California.

But the mid-size states have ended up holding both the bigger and little states hostage. No campaign bothers to address the concerns of anything but "swing state" voters. Not that I want a barage of TV ads in California ... but just because California is, on the electoral college whole, a done deal for the Democrats, that's no reason (in my impartial opinion) to ignore the vast number of Republican voters in this huge, pluralistic state.
