Reply #33: It should go

[Ediacara]

For a number of reasons:

1) Every state but one (Wyoming) is underrepresented. The electoral college is inherently unfair to states that have more than 450,000 people living in them. Montana has double that, yet has the same EC representation. Why is a Wyomingite's vote twice as valuable as my own? It only gets worse, the higher your state's population.... Even if congressional districts were re-drawn to include about 100,000 people it would STILL be unfair because of the 2 point senate boost given to small states.

2) It's an artefact of pre-civil war America. Like the 3/5ths rule in the House, this was used to artificially boost the power of slave states while reducing the actual number of people voting.

3) Presidential candidates don't go to small states now, so the "point" about them not visiting small states is moot. You can't visit a state any less than zero times can you?
