The real problem with the electoral college is that it makes the candidates campaign selectively instead of nationally. States that have only a handful of electoral votes get passed over during campaigns and that in and of itself feeds into voter apathy because half the country feels as if they don't matter because the politicians don't come to them, to listen to them or even consider them for much of anything because they as a collective majority are worthy 3 or 4 or 5 electoral votes.
Take care all.
