We should all examine the meaning of "one person, one vote" in our governing system.  We are not a pure democracy so it doesn't necessarily mean elections will or even should be decided by popular vote.  Our system of government was specifically designed to prevent pure democracy.  Our Founders examined all systems of government throughout history and quickly realized that no pure democracies survived for any length of time.  That is why we have a republic with built in checks and balances like the Electoral College (EC).  Jim's suggested change to the EC is similar to what Nebraska and Maine have done with their EC.  Go figure, two small and rural states.
