text: Because of the winner take-all system in each state, the candidates dont spend time in states they know dont have achance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the "swing" states. during the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all. If anyone has a good argument for putting the fate of the presidnecy in the hands of a few swing voters in ohio, they have yet to make it.    dear state senator, i believe that we should abolish the electoal college and just leave up to populare vote. The electoral college should be abolished because it is unfair, and it poses a threat to the U.S constitution.
