The electoral college is just another thing that needs to be fixed not removed.
Why the electoral college can't be more proportional? I don't know.
All the states have to do is pass a bill. How delegates are assigned are completely up to the states.
Everyone wants to compare Wyoming and California.
How about North Dakota and New Hampshire.
Because people like to be dishonest.
North Dakota gets 3 electoral college votes which is approximately 1 vote for every 250000 people.
New Hampshire has 4 electoral college votes which gives the people of New Hampshire 1 vote for every 350000 people.
Why do the people of North Dakota matter more than the people of New Hampshire?
Did you not take a high school government class?
I mean seriously this is like the millionth post of an american that has no clue how our government works.
the EC is compromised of 2 things. The number of Reps + senate.
The number of reps a state gets is based on the size of it's population.
All states get 1 rep no matter the size because you can't have .5 or .25 of a rep.
the person would be dead.
So in your comparison both ND and NH both get 1 rep because they do not have the population size to get anymore.
Now the senate.
The senate does not represent the number of people in a state. It represents the state itself.
In that fact All states are equal in power so every state gets 2 senators.
You do not included these 2 when looking at reps based on population.
both added together gives you the total EC.
Check out the electoral map if things were done in a more proportional way with every state having the same number of people represented by the same number of electors or congress people I think it would be more fair for everyone.
Get your state legislature to pass a bill to change it then.
Imagine how many more electors states like Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma would get if it was all equal?
Reps are based on population size. This is per the constitution.
The cap on the house is ridiculous, the peoples house is kind of a joke when some members have to represent 750000, how the hell do they represent, listen to, get anything done for the people they represent?
that is how it works. They could add more seats but the house would need a major overhaul to accomidate those people and fire regulations would have to be adhered to.
I would think every American would want to be equal at least as far as political representation? Right?
They do. That is why CA gets 53 reps and other states don't.
Although if all states had an equal amount of reps congress would then have to work more efficiently to get things passed.
