See, this is where we get into silly time with politics. Republicans want 'states' rights' - but if you want that, the electoral college is EXACTLY that. The Senate is EXACTLY that. You can't have 'state's rights' and abolish the senate or the electoral college fundamentally. In fact - the electoral college and senate are the FOUNDATION of state's rights. I am not one of these people that believe's in 'let the states decide everything' people - I'm an American - lets work out the big things nationally and leave the small stuff to the states.
