Except of course for two things. One, the constitution, (i.e. the 10th amendment and all it's implications), and two, the electoral college is that only way that people that don't live in big cities can still have a say in national elections. The fact is that what is important to people in NY is not the same as what is important to people in Wyoming. Each state needs to have a say or you will end up with LESS representative government.
