My friend Rhiannon went to cast an early ballot in Orlando, Florida today and was told that the wait was 4 hours long. And if you insist on keeping the electoral college why not make it based on proportional representation instead of winner-take-all? This would ensure that Republicans in California or Democrats in Louisiana would not feel left out. So candidates would get a percentage of the electoral votes of a state proportional to their percentage of the vote of that state.
