[John Valentine]

United States Constitution, from Article II, Section 1:

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

All the commentary above regarding apportionment of the Electoral College according to per capita taxation is utterly ignorant rubbish.

[JOHN W K]

You forgot the part of our constitution which commands Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned. Is the rule of apportionment "ignorant rubbish"?
