Their remedy of direct popular vote reduces the deciding factor to just three or four high population states.

No it doesn’t. It makes a vote in New York count exactly the same as one in Montana. Or anywhere else. I’m not amazed that Conservatives can’t understand this, since it would remove the obvious advantage in having rural votes count more than suburban or urban votes.

But if you think the way to preserve a Republic is to give some people greater vote than others, that’s your right. It’s shortsighted and stupid, but it’s your right.

“Some are more equal than others”. Remember?
