We need to make every individual vote weigh the same. We have the technology to do something like that now. Every person in the nation should have their vote count -- you think a democrat in the mid west cares about voting? A republican in New York?

The problem is that small states would never have any say in how the country is run. The people running for office would ignore smaller states and spend all of their time in states like NY, cal. etc... I do think its a big deal beacuse VA could be a very close state and how would you feel knowin while serving this country your vote got canned after you filled out the form sent to you correctly?
