text: The main reason why people want a change is for all the qurks in the Electoral College system. For example, if you lived in Texas. And you wanted to vote for John Kerry, you'd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electoers. Witch in most cases would be O.K., but they could betray the party and vote for whom they please. It doesn't always happen but the possibility is real.  And people, like the segregationists back in 1960, could have gone agenst their party and pick electors to go agenst Kennedy.
