I hear ya. I wouldn't mind doing away with (or greatly modifying) the Electoral College so that my vote for Bush will actually count. (I'm so sick of seeing my vote literally counted as nothing when California's 54 electoral votes go to the Democrat.)
do away with the electoral college and california and new york would rule the country.
You can petition your state legislature to try to get them to apportion the EV's by congressional district (like Maine) or proportionally. It probably wouldn't happen, but unless it's written into the CA constitution, it only takes a majority vote of the legislature and the signature of the governator.
