I rest my case.

Well, he has a point.  The problem with the electoral college is that you have shit states, like Wyoming, with a population of 586,000 getting 3 electoral votes - 2 senators and 1 representative meaning that each elector represents 135,300 people.  Meanwhile, California with a population in excess of 39,350,000 gets 55 electoral votes or 1 for every 715, 450 people.  None of this one man- one vote shit for us.

But Dy is right.  If the popular vote counted we wouldn't be stuck with the WLB right now.
