So now I don't get a vote?

For those who say we don't need the electoral college I ask why not take it to the next level?

Why not just have the Senate comprised of the 100 top vote getters? Sure, about 75 of them would probably be from either New York or California, but at least Democracy would rule out.

Why not do the same with Congress? Sure, we wouldn't have reps from states like Oregon or Montana anymore....too bad. The people who live in those states will just have to trust to democracy and good will that they will be treated fairly by their new reps whose true constinuents reside in Americas 6 or 7 largest cities.
