Electoral College

News report has it that Pennsylvania is considering revamping the way it allocates its electoral votes. Rather than give all the state electoral votes to whomever wins the popular vote, the electoral votes would be apportioned out to the winners of each congressional district and two statewide.

This is about the best way for a change and retain the founders vision of preventing the big populous cities being able to dictate the results.

The Electoral College is there for a very good reason, in that in compels candidates to consider more than one state.
