But when you cast a vote for President, you're actually voting for an electoral college member, not the candidate. The electoral college ensures representation by sparsely populated areas, otherwise candidates would only visit NY City, Los Angeles, etc., and NO ONE would bother with lesser populated areas. This concept seems difficult for those still whinning about Gore "getting the popular vote."
