41 states with votes that don't matter... Sounds a lot like our current system, don't you think? I just don't buy into the argument that just because you live in Florida, or Missouri, or any of a very small handful of battleground states (don't get me started on Iowa and New Hampshire deciding presidential nominees) that you're vote should count for more than mine. I'm a citizen of United States of America, just like you, and resent being discounted at the polls.

Full disclosure: While I do live in VA, I am a Florida resident, and I will be voting absentee
