So a dozen of the most populous states and largest cities can determine the national election?
No thanks, Diane.
[Thank G_d that the Founding Fathers had better sense than this current crop of self-interest, self-promoting, self-aggrandizing politicians have.]
The largest cities already have major input: just look at the election results by county map for 2004 and who certain states electoral votes went to.
Neither system is perfect but a democracy is winning elections by popular vote.
Well said~~~~
