They have got to reform the electoral college. It just isn't fair at all. I live in a blue state, and although I'm non affiliated, I don't like the idea that if I like a rep. candidate, that my vote doesn't count. I'm sure there are dem's in red states that feel the same.

If your vote doesn't count then how did Bill Clinton become president for 2 straight terms?

No doubt that this needs an overhaul but the problem is that it always works in favor of one or the other and whoever wins loves it at the time. When one loses, they have no power to change it so it always remains a vicious circle.
