text: I heard recently that you might be taking away the electoral college.  If you dont know allready the electoral college is a process founded by our fuounding fathers in the constitution.  In the article "In defence of the electoral college" they say,"no region has enough electoral votes to elect a president.  so a solid regional favorite, such as romney was in the south, has no incentive to campagin heavily in those states, for he gains no electoral votes by increasing his pulralityin the states that he knows he will win."  this keeps the election 'fair' and the canidates cant just pick a region and "take over."
