Re: Voting Machines
The Electoral College was explicitly *designed* to somewhat dilute the power of big population centers, and it does that just fine. It's working as designed. Some of the states wouldn't have joined the union without it (nor without the two Senators per state design of the Senate).
Just because the "right" (i.e. Left) people didn't like the outcome this last time doesn't change that.
Ironically, it was the losers who were floating a plan to manipulate the College. When that failed, they decided that they hated it again.
