The Electoral College's supporters argue that it plays an important role in balancing relations among the states, and protecting the interests of small states. A few years ago, this page was moved by these concerns to support the Electoral College. But we were wrong. The small states are already significantly overrepresented in the Senate, which more than looks out for their interests. And there is no interest higher than making every vote count.Translation: The New York Slimes is still bitter their algore lost the election in 2000.
How algore almost stole an election .....

Yea, and let the ensuing liberal whining be as music to our ears. Sweeter even than a cold beer on a hot Christmas day :)
This is not Athenian style democracy. Give it up NYT.
