In fact, some states are trying to do just that. Spilt-up the electorial votes

This ELECTORAL stuff is completely flawed and I think we should all sue until the ELECTORATE actually reflects what voters want.
It's the biggest scam in the USA. They should divide up the votes evenly. If a state has 10 votes and 70% vote for KERRY he should get 7. Bush should get 3. The way it is now is completely unfair anfair getting elected without the popular vote shows this to everyone.
If you don't agree try explaing this voteing system to a bunch of fourth graders. Even they can see it is stupid.

If we can't agree on how to fix the ELECTORAL College. Can we all agree that when it no longer reflects the will of the people it is broken?
