One of the things that gets accentuated for me during all of this controversy is how little MY own personal vote matters. Living in a state that was not a close call, my vote doesn't matter at all, because of the electoral college system. I don't like that. I also don't like that the potential weight of my vote is less than the weight of the vote of my counterpart in Idaho or Wyoming, because of the electoral college system. I would really like to see us pass an ammendment for one person one vote in this country. I know it is a long shot, but it seems worth the effort to me. First, however, we need ballot reform, and uniform systems of balloting for federal elections. You can be sure that will be on the congressional agenda in the years to come, even if getting rid of the electoral college system is seen as a dream.
