One of the disadvantages of the electoral college is that under certain circumstances, a small minority can dictate policy. Case in point: The Cuban population in Florida (funny how Florida keeps coming up) votes as a strong bloc against anyone who supports resuming relations with Cuba. Because the republican/democrat balance in Florida is nearly 50/50, this group has the power to swing the state's 25 electoral votes in the other direction. | |||
