The electoral college only has meaning in a presidential election. How do you claim a state has been ignoring it when that is the number of votes that state gets to cast?

They can divide up their votes any way they want without defeating the electoral college.

In my opinion, each state should divide up their electoral college votes the way the vote splits in the State. If 40% of California votes for a republican, 40% of their electoral votes should count republican. And for all states the same way.

I haven’t done the math; but, I’m almost positive that would have meant ‘President Kerry’ and ‘President Gore’.
