In the case of a tie, the election goes to the House of Representatives, where each state delegation gets one vote - one for Wyoming's 500,000 residents and one for California's 35.5 million.

So what's the problem?

I for one agree with the NYT. We should abolish the electoral college and each state should be equally represented. After all, we are a federation of states.

The EC was a compromise between big states and small states. It has been a functional compromise. If the Slimes wants to break the compromise, they should be reminded what the other side wanted too.
