Absolutely. The electoral college is a fine idea, but it's long overdue an update.
Arkansas has six electoral votes. Of 70 counties in Arkansas 31 went to Gore and rest went to Bush. Even though nearly half the counties in Arkansas went "blue," President Bush was given all six of those, oh so precious, electoral votes. Needless to say the Razorback Country Democrats felt a bit cheated.
