This is ridiculous sour grapes nonsense with no regard for the good of the country.

While yes there is the freedom of choice and to or not to cast a vote, one would think that some of those who came before us, those words would ring far more important than anything else, this is a government of for and by the people. And some of them do not vote, it could be an issue.

When was the last time that the Left was interested in the good of the country??
This is a typical ploy...designed to wrest even more control from the average citizen. Hegemony...that's the goal here.

If anyone has a legitimate beef with the EC, it would be someone like me. I am a red voter in a state that will always vote blue. Talk about your vote not counting. However, I vote in every election and don't feel disenfranchised in any way. Even though my state will never reflect my opinions in a presidential race, I understand that the EC is the best way to represent the opinions of the country as a whole, for the reasons already stated above by members more eloquent than myself.

I know exactly how you feel...I live in rural MA and the whole state goes blue regardless which nullifies my vote when I choose to vote Republican
