ITS TIME TO CHANGE IT

i voted back in october via mail
as soon as my ballot came in the mail i filled it out and mailed it
within a few days i got a notice via text that it was received and counted

or 
was it
what i mean did it really count
since the vote really it seems by the millions spent in those important got to win states counts only there

all that money and political visits and famous folks campaigning like crazy in those few states while ignoring almost all of the other states

heck texas only got the presidential candidates once
pennsylvania got them several times a day for what seems like weeks

that all doesnt seem right

i talk to folks who came here from other countries and they sort of smile and shake their heads when we talk about our electoral system

i understand how it works 
i understand its history and why it was set up that way
a compromise was made
we all suffer from that compromise 

i recommend that we use the popular vote so that whoever wins the most votes in the election wins the election
you know the one person one vote rule

finally this year the republican candidate won the popular vote
george w was the last to do that

to the one that gets the top votes they get the job

man that would make the candidates go everywhere wouldnt it

there seems under the electoral system to be too many places where things can get all jammed up
lets remove that log jam and switch to the rule
whoever gets the most votes win

i think it was set up so the common man really didnt get to decide in the beginning
remember back then women couldnt vote
only property owners voted
blacks were not citizens
only an elite group got to pick the winner

the presidential election needs to be like we do for mayor governor senator house of representative school board tax collector etc

well you name it every other office

yes tis time to change now that the republicans showed they could win the popular vote as well as the electoral vote

here is a good explanation of the us presidential electoral system 

lets change it
