I completely agree. I saw him on Bill Maher. He is a very smart guy and Tennessee should have seen that. Too bad! For them and for our country.

The Electoral College protects the rights of small state voters. If you could win the election based on a simple majority, candidates would predominantly target large cities only in their run to office.
In Australia the Senate was designed to provide that balance with equal representation from each state regardless of population. These days it runs more along party lines but as I mentioned earlier, a number of smaller parties get to influence legislation.
Currently the government has an outright majority (very rare) and when that happened there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth over the power going to their head. If it does they'll get punished next year in the election.
Hey it's not a perfect system (that would be me ruling as a benevolent dictator  ) but I think it works pretty well overall. |

My quick take on the initial issue of Bill Maher. He's a sharp, witty, clever, amusing, intellectually stimulating guy, but I suspect that if you had close dealings with him on a regular basis you'd soon regard him as uppercase multi-exclamation point %^*$)@. Just an observation.
