Does my vote count???
#7
There are at least three times that the popularly elected candidate loses the Electoral College ballot.

I like the Electoral college system BUT I believe it needs to be tweaked to have something like Maine and Nebraska have. What happens is 8-9 States get pandered to and the rest are left to themselves. If the votes were split in states, then candidates would have to campaign much harder and much more strategically.

Think about this, California and New York ALWAYS seem to go blue. That is 84 Electoral votes automatically to the Democratic candidate. Texas and Georgia usually seem to go Republican and they amount to about 50 votes. Candidates rarely ever campaign in those states because they know how it will turn out.
