Damn of course im late <| sep |> I don ' t believe that the red states or the swing states would agree to it , but I find your original statement highly illogical . It ' s to make small states included . That wasn ' t it ' s first intention and it ' s not the current effect . What it does is makes sure that presidential candidates promise things to Pennsylvania , Ohio , Florida , and a few other states . So while it does make these states feel important , they aren ' t really the small states who campaigns in Montana , North Dakota , or West Virginia ? and it comes at the costs of other states being ignored Who cares about New York , California , or Texas ? . Wouldn ' t it make sense if the candidates had to campaign to the majority of people ?
