The Electoral College itself is not the problem, but the way states approach it totally is.
My Kerry vote in the state of Georgia was essentially moot because it's a conservative state and more people wanted Bush. That isn't fair to me -- it's tantamount to my not voting for the president at all.
The EC will not change. It's in the Constitution, so changing it would require 3/4 of the states to ratify the amendment, and that won't happen. The only thing we can do is to push for our states to adopt Maine's attitude towards the EC, where the electoral votes are split based on election results. So, if 60 percent of Georgia goes Bush, 9 of the state's electoral votes go to him, and the other 6 go to Kerry.
Until that happens (and it's a long-shot in certain states, notably mine), I am going to continue to feel disenfranchised. Also SERIOUSLY freaked about what we've got coming on our horizon.
