Barb Underhill of Utah (through another medium): Wonder what our Founding Fathers would think of the role of the Electoral College today? My thought is that the rural states gain a big enough voice through their (our) equal numbers in the Senate, regardless of population. Also, when I vote for a member of Congress, my vote does count. In Utah, no matter what or when, the electoral votes will always be Republican, so nobody’s vote matters. It makes no sense to me why my neighboring swing states of Nevada and Colorado mean more to the parties and candidates than my state. 3rd parties haven’t a prayer with winner take all.
