Hallo Florian,

hier noch ein weiterer Artikel zum "Electoral College", den ich gelesen hatte. Weitere findest Du natürlich selbst.

Das sind natürlich keine umfassenden Abhandlungen – aber der Artikel spiegelt die Haltung vieler Amerikaner wider.

Zitat:

Conservative opponents of a direct vote say it would give an unfair edge to large, heavily Democratic cities and states. But why should the votes of Americans in California or New York count for less than those in Idaho or Texas? A direct popular vote would treat all Americans equally, no matter where they live — including, by the way, Republicans in San Francisco and Democrats in Corpus Christi, whose votes are currently worthless. The system as it now operates does a terrible job of representing the nation’s demographic and geographic diversity.
