Sounds to me like Colorado is on the right track. Might be a good compromise between popular vote and EC vote.

I dont look at as "states" deciding the winner, but "people". If CA and NY have so many more peple, than the canfdidates should focus thier campaigning in those states.

If most people are democratic in those states, then most people overall are democratic, and choose to vote that way, so how would that not be fair?

I can see your point to an extent, but cant seem to comprehend why it would be unfair to the smaller states? Its the peoples choice, not the states choice.

Since the big states have the most EC votes, it still would seem like a "compromise" anyway. If all the smaller states went republican, wouldnt the lessser amount of EC votes from those states amount to them losing anyway? I guess it just tries to balance out the system the best way possible.

Maybe Im not seeing where a person lives influencing their voting choice and I should, maybe the states local politics influence voters party choice more than I perceive, therefore maiking the EC system seem more sensible.
