It is easier for the corporate powers that control our government to manipulate the presidential elections with the Electoral College than it would be to allow "one person = one vote."

Right now, all the polls seem to indicate the the popular vote in this country is very nearly a dead heat. Yet the Electoral Vote Predictions are enormously skewed toward the Republican Party. By concentrating their efforts in a few "key" states, they can essentially disenfranchise almost half the voters in those states.

Alaska is a bastion of Republican Conservatism. No matter which presidential candidate I have voted for up here over the past 20 years, my state's Electoral Votes have always gone to the Republican.
