ONE PERSON – ONE VOTE
|
The outdated Electoral College is dumbing down the process that should be determining the outcome of our presidential elections. The basic purpose of the College being to balance out the power of one state against another, but states are unequal. California paying most and getting about a 75% return on what they contribute to the national treasury. If it is possible to determine what the popular vote is, then it is time to move to ONE PERSON – ONE VOTE. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHY THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE NO LONGER WORKS: CALIFORNIA HAS A POPULATION OF 38.8 MILLION AND 55 ELECTORAL VOTES: 1 VOTE REPRESENTS 70,5454.5 PEOPLE. ALASKA HAS A POPULATION OF 740,000 AND 3 ELECTORAL VOTES: 1 VOTE REPRESENTS 24,6666.6 PEOPLE. ARKANSAS HAS A POPULATION OF 3 MILLION PEOPLE AND 6 ELECTORAL VOTES: 1 VOTE REPRESENTS 50,000 PEOPLE. ALASKA’S ELECTORAL VOTES HAVE NEARLY 3 TIMES THE VALUE OF A CALIFORNIA ELECTORAL VOTE. IN OTHER WORDS, CALIFORNIA GETS THE SHAFT, SO DOES NEW YORK STATE BY HAVING THE VALUE OF THEIR ELECTORAL VOTES WATERED DOWN. IT IS NOT A FAIR NOR ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF OUR NATION’S VOTING. IT NEEDS TO BE DONE AWAY WITH. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
