11. Campaigns no longer need to be run from the back of a train

A candidate can connect to all the electorate directly and instantly. The small state argument barely holds water when thinking of how much money states take in from campaign funds. One more reason to end the current system as I see it.
Smaller populated states are given a foot up in the Senate where they have equal representation is what is obviously the more powerful side of the Congressional House.
A President is selected to represent all Americans and not just one region or segment of population.
More people choose to live in metropolitan areas for many reasons. They should not be dismissed due to those choices.
