Once again, my question was about the fairness of 48 states giving all electoral votes to the winner. 48 states do that. So you think that is fair? Doesn't that supress votes too? Your link has nothing to do with the question.
And I have no idea if awarding state electoral votes based on the actual vote would of hurt or helped Obama. Your link is about congressional districts.
When Gore won the popular vote the Dems were all for getting rid of the Electoral College but now that it looks like they will have a EC super majority in the coming elections they want to keep it. Of course the GOP wants to tinker with the current system. It would be stupid to not try. Especially when you have so many states rural voters whose votes don't really matter like NY CA and IL.
