I agree in the general election, but the primaries are run by the parties, not the government. If you don't like the way your party runs their nomination change parties or form your own. (Yeah, like that works since the two parties work together to stay in control).

I get in a rage whenever WTA is mentioned. That is because Texas has 38 Electoral votes, and yet it is over 2/5ths Democratic. It would probably be EVEN MORE Democratic if the Democrats in Texas even thought they had a hope in hell of swinging the Federal Election. Big chunks of Texas are blue. Houston, and most of South Texas. If it weren't for excessive Gerrymandering, even more of Texas would be blue. http://www.chron.com/news/politics/t...ed-6246509.php

Interesting Zeluvia, you seem to be against majority vote.
How would you change the system?

Not my point. My point is that Majority vote is NOT what we are getting. Using Gerrymandering, and more recently Various Voter Restriction laws, one of our parties is attempting to undermine Majority Vote in a big way.
1. Use the shortest splitline algorithm to create districts in each state, thus doing away with Gerrymandering altogether. some states do impartial committee gerrymandering already. 2. Proportional Popular for electoral vote awarding. 3. Do away completely with Diebold, or require that the voting machine issue each voter a printed receipt of their votes.

Gerrymandering is done by the elected Governor of the State every ten years, with the oversight of the Feds, following the mandate to increase the proportional value of the minority vote.
Removing gerrymandering will drastically reduce the power of the minority vote.

Of course gerrymandering is used to manipulate political power, in fact it is mandated by the Federal government that it does give larger weight to minority populations.

And it is not done to increase the power of the minority vote, although it can be challenged on that basis.
