[QUOTE="MtPockets, post: 1548839, member: 39651"] I understand your concern. I used to think we should go to a strictly vote count. I mean, in the current system our vote doesn't necessarily mean anything- much like you describe. But then I started looking at how our elections actually work, and why the Founding Fathers set it up the way they did. What I found was that the founders of this Nation were afraid of any one group making laws that only benefited them and their kind, without regard for the Nation as a whole. An example would be the City people "ruling" the Country folk because their are more people in the city. From what I read, that is why they set up our electoral system the way they did- so that it wasn't a "mob rule" situation. Unfortunately, the states didn't follow suit, and the result is that in some states mob rule IS the rule. [/QUOTE]
