Small states are already irrelevant in the general election. Unfortunately, many of the large states are as well (California, New York, Illinois). Abolishing the electoral college would force candidates to campaign nationwide. It would allow other coalitions to form, and make the GOTV efforts easier for the minority party in various states.

Perhaps this time Soros is right (hey, a broken clock...)

Nonsense. The cities would rule, and we know how cities vote.

Soros right, Madison wrong. Sure.

Free Republic is unrecognizable.
