Number crunching.
I decided to write my required 12th grade history research paper on abolishing the electoral college. (My first idea was to detail a campaign for Jon Stewart for president, but I don't think I could make that 8 pages.) I was looking around Wikipedia (oooh, how unreliable of a source) to be sure and I calculated that a vote for president in Texas is worth nearly four times less than on in Wyoming. California has one electoral vote for about every 656,948 people and Texas has one for every 672,352 people, while Wyoming has one for only every 169,764 people. (Texas seems to have lowest percentage of electoral votes and Wyoming the highest from my calculations.) This is yucky.
