The Electoral College
The Electoral College is the thing that gives out all the electoral votes. It signifies what party a state is voting for. It needs to end! The totally unfair thing is, it never counts the votes for individual cities!!!!!!!!! Thumbs down for the Electoral College!!!!!!!! Also, if the College counted the capitol city instead of the whole state, Texas would have gone flat out Democrat.

I totally agree! The electoral college is outdated and should be abolished. It was a mechanism to keep the hoi palloi from taking control of the government by allowing delegates to vote differently than the outcome of the popular vote. I think it's about time the voters got to elect out president directly. At the very least, we should abolish the winner take all policy in Texas and other large states that skews the outcome of the popular election. I think Al Gore would agree with you too.
But JC, Texas is not flat out Democrat. If you only do the capitol city, not everyone's voices get heard. If you do the whole state...ditto, the only fair thing to do would be to do each person. But that's too much! But guess what JC, life is unfair! You should learn that now!
please be more precise and write a longer blog. what do you mean by "The Electoral College is the thing that gives out all the electoral votes"?
KIran, I am not sure that was his formaal blog, but I do think you could be more precise, Jonathan C.
