"Battleground" States
This whole controversy over Battleground states is once again showing a problem with the electoral college. I am not sure that I would want the electoral college gone, but the article at http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/special/president/showdown/explainer.html shows that states characterized as "swing" "showdown" or "battleground" get an extremely disproportionate amount of attention. Maybe its just that this election is so close, yet in many states so polarized. I just think that it creates a system where only the residents of the states mentioned, shown below, are determining the president. I mean- according to them- it doesn't matter who I vote for because NC isn't on their list [note: neither is my true "home" state- NJ]. Whatever, I would love to say I want to change it, but I am not actually sure that I do. The electoral college may be bad,or it may be good, or maybe those Coloradians have it right.
