You make it sound like I don't like the electoral vote system. I actually do like it because it gives weight to more rural areas. What I don't like is the all or nothing way votes are cast. If a state has 10 electoral votes and 51 % of the state likes A for president and 49% like B for president why should A get all 10 votes? Instead I think A should get 6 and B should get 4. This should be across the board for all states. A few states have tried to modify their system to be like this but from a states perspective there is no reason to do this as it lessens their political influence. However if all states were forced to do this then every state would still be on a level playing field.
