[QUOTE="traveler, post: 305000, member: 1954"] wkmac, As I'm sure you know, this is the reason the Electoral College was initially instituted. Simply so larger states would not rule the country. Though the demographics have changed and some of the States that were insignificant in our early history are now some of the largest, the college in general does do its work well in not allowing the larger states to dominate the political scene. I have learned something about Maryland, i.e. they really don't care how their citizens vote, in other words, it is far better to put your finger in the wind to see which way it is blowing at the moment. How sad for its residents! I just read the article you referred to and another thought came to mind. Were I in one of the states that would become insignificant, should this movement take hold and become law, I surely would be interested in either moving to a state where my vote really counted or I would help any movement in my state to secede from the union.
