When choosing a leader for the entire country, the federal leader, it just seems moronic to weigh certain people's votes more than others Not at all.

ZMythos 05/03/17 7:31:10 PM #49:	I think the best compromise would be direct election of the electoral college instead of having them be appointed party figures by representatives.
