2. I wish we had proportional representation

because I think it would increase voter participation and would be more representative.

why should a liberal in Tennessee not have his or her vote count b/c he or she lives in an area with a lot of Fallwellians?

In terms of population, the U.S. is much more liberal and progressive than our elections allow.

I don't like the electoral college for that reason.

States get representation at the state level of govt.

People should get representation at the federal level, imo.
