in 1996, 14,000 ballots either way wouldn't have made a difference. this
year, the whole election hinges on florida's 300 some votes, 19,000 makes a
huge difference.

are you saying there are some kind of state hive minds that everyone in the
same state would vote the same?? that's the only way a large state can have
more say than a small state. in a purely popular vote election,
everyone's vote is weighed the same, no matter which state you are from.
its in the electoral system that a vote in california is hell of lot
important than a vote in alaska. think it through.
oh wait, that's right, conservatives are known for their inability to see
the inconsistencies in their logic.
