lets use california and iowa for this example.
55 electoral votes, versus 7 electoral votes.
california is jam packed with people wanting to live in a nice climate, iowa is spread thin with people who want to provide grain for our country.
i am generalizing there, but take it as it is for now. yes i understand the meaning of populas and total number of votes, but also consider there are people who do live there that do not follow the norm in either state.
now thinking about that add colorado to the mix. another 7 vote state.
now lets pretend both iowa and colorado vote 90% Bush, and california votes 55% kerry. it is possible that the 55 electoral votes of cali give kerry the office.
now all of a sudden gangsta G's vote is more important than susi homemaker in iowa.
personally i think everyone's vote should be of equal value. right now i can see that it is not, and never will be. i choose NOT to live in the land or fruits and nuts (and you know what i mean by that), but my vote is less important than theirs, because i choose a different lifestyle and belief system than them.
if ever a studmuffin says to me "equal rights" i can say with true proof it has more rights in the elections than i do if it lives in the natural habitat.
man it is a crazy world.
before you "slam" me, yes i know my "little" midwest states are what is determining this election, and in theroy our votes are more important. but if you look at the facts of the numbers they dont really statistically mean as much in the big picture.
ok flame away
