Get rid of the electoral college and only a few states matter. The remaining states will not. This is the road to civil war.

Yes, that is what I told my 21 year-old son; his Canadian roommates don’t really understand our system.
I said, were it not for the electoral college, L.A., N.Y.C., Chicago and other big urban cities would be deciding who is president. People in the states where food, energy, etc. is produced would have no say.
Sadly, were it not for Chicago, my home state would probably be a red state. As an aside, it would be interesting to have some form of electoral college on a county level. People living in rural counties in states with huge cities would then have a say as well.
