With pure popular vote Rural America would lose every presidential election... factLook you keep claiming every vote counts and should be weighed the same but then keep claiming the Senate is fine. The Founders made the Senate to equalize the State voices in the Senate. Either you want to get rid of the Senate too or you are blowing smoke about equal voice. By the way the Electoral college GIVES equal voice to the States.Not an equal voice. It's disproportionate.
I want equal voice for the people when it comes to picking the president. Equal voice for the states comes from the Senate.
I want to protect all in the vote, the rural voter and the suburban voter, both have different needs and all needs need to be accounted for. That is why we are a republic. If we started to eliminate the minority voice it would be regressing back to the 1800's. I'm for keeping the Republic and all voices heard and acknowledged. With a country as big as the United States is, different areas need different needs and the needs will contrast vastly. With both parties giving increasing power to the Executive Office, we need to make sure all are heard and all have a voice. A popular vote would not allow for the small voice to be acknowledged, let alone be heard.
Right now, the "small voice" carries more weight than it should. I want it to be equal. No one's vote should count more than anyone elses.
We are a nation of states . Not rural vs city. Every state has both .
