How we choose a president...

When you look at the American flag you will see fifty equally sized stars, one for

each of our fifty  states and for good reason, to show all states are equal,

none is greater than any other.

Digest this as you continue.....

​In every tight presidential election the losing side argues the mechanism
to declare the winner must change, usually driven by the fact the loser
received more of the popular vote than the winner who received a greater
share of the electoral vote.

This is an understandable argument by those that believe we are a democracy
and "majority rules", which the United States is not. We're a democratic-republic
as proven by the structure of the Legislative Branch.

But, this is not to say a change shouldn't be considered, one that assures the 

American people the candidates care for them equally.

Each state's citizens need to be treated equally, which is currently not the case. 

This can only be achieved if the Electoral vote values each state EQUALLY!

There would be no need for candidates to calculate a strategy that drives
them to actively campaign in states such as California, Florida, Texas and
the other seven states with the most electors that total the required 270 electoral
votes or in the so called 'battle ground' states which recently determined the
final outcome.

What of the "forgotten states", such as Montana, Rhode Island, Delaware,

North Dakota and the other eleven states which have no more than five 

electoral votes?  Are they less worthy?  If not, why do candidates rarely 

campaign in these states?

If there is a serious desire to change the way we elect a president it should

be designed to give each state an equal voice and modeled after the Senate
where the body is structured so each state has equal representation!
No senator has a voice larger than any other senator.  

If the presidency is decided by the number of states won rather than the 

proportional weight based on Congressional representation used in the
current system, the winner would be the candidate that won the majority
of the states, at least twenty-six 'votes', with each having one electoral vote.

The image of the fifty stars on our American flag, showing equality
among the states is nothing other than founders desired!
