Abolish the Electoral College

In the last line of my 2nd paragraph, I said, "But if you implemented a different standard (for example, the popular vote) then everybody's vote counts the same, and nobody in the population's vote is not counted or worth any less." This shows why another standard, like the popular vote, is superior to the electoral college. With the electoral college, a person's vote counts less based on where they live. Con dropped my argument about Wyoming and Texas, skipping right over to the "majority rules" thing which I will address next. But let me repeat that in Wyoming a citizen's vote is worth 4x the vote of someone in Texas. This is not justified and Con says the alternatives would ignore a hefty chunk of the population, when really this standard provides unfair weighing that values each citizen's vote differently based on the state they live in (population). Con said that most places have a "small minority" of dissent so it's realistic and acceptable to ask people to move. This drops all my arguments. Extend my arguments because my opponent dropped them all: It's not fair or reasonable to expect people to move so their vote matters, especially when there are alternatives. This would be bad for diversity. People who are in the minority within their small area (state) still deserve to have their voice's heard, but the electoral college renders their vote useless if other people from their state drown them out. This is ironic in a system that claims to value minority rights. Also it's not true that every state and city is politically homogeneous. Iowa has an approximately equal number of registered Republicans and registered Democrats. Second, it is one of the most elastic states, with a large swath of unaffiliated voters. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com... There are many cities and states where ethnic, economic and political diversity work and are successful. http://www.cnbc.com... Con is nasty and says "I would appreciate if you read my argument more carefully" as if people are mind readers who know what his intended argument was. He didn't specify that he was talking about 12 people in the final election, and apparently Con is ignorant to the fact that there are more than 2 Democrats and Republicans that run in the final election as well... so he should probably think twice about making nasty comments when he has proven to be ignorant in this regard. There is the Democratic nominee, Republican nominee, along with Libertarian and Green Party nominees, Constitution Party, Prohibition Party, Veterans Party, Nutrition Party, America's Party, Party for Socialism, etc. and they all have presidential nominees. https://en.wikipedia.org... Extend my arguments on more parties having a greater variety of candidates being a good thing, Con dropped it, and Con dropped my point about the burden of pigeonholing ideologies or how people would likely come together to form major political parties anyway even under the popular vote. Con says I have offered no solutions in the last round but that is a flat out lie. This is literally my last paragraph of the last round: "Con says the popular vote system is the only alternative, but this is not true. In addition to the popular vote (making each citizen's vote count once) there have been other proposals for reform or abolition of the electoral college, including the Bayh"Celler Constitutional amendment, Every Vote Counts amendment, and National Popular Vote Interstate Compact."
