Reply #44: Another great idea! [View All]

On its own merit, getting rid of the Electoral College is a great idea, and I have forcefully advocated for that before.

But even if we did do that, I don't think that alone would eliminate the "red state/blue state" talk. Look at all the county-by-county maps that proliferate these days, after all. People just like colored maps. That will never end.

But we shouldn't base our political rhetoric on it without very good reason. And the only reasons behind this rhetoric favor the GOP.
