Maryland enacts law for electoral college change



Maryland enacts law for electoral college change

They're saying that this will change the way candidates campaign, because they've been spending too much time with the populous states.

I think it's a crazy justification. Seems like grade-school arithmetic can knock it down, because the electoral college count includes two votes per each state, just for being a state, plus other votes that calculate from the population.

That means New York voters will have an even greater edge over Montana voters.

Another case of politicians and other snakes and liars claiming to solve a problem by making it worse.

Maybe it's a special "legal mathematics" they teach in the trade-secrets sections of law schools.
