That ' s most jobs . Adored my team and most coworkers . The upper management were condescending pricks though and ruined morale , the workplace , and even their own business <| sep |> And then the government goes in and kicks their asses . <| sep |> Yes and the house members are decided by popular votes by individual states . The number each state gets is based on population . We do not vote on a national level for each member of the house . We vote for those to represent us from our states . For example , I am not from Wisconsin so I have no say over whether Paul Ryan gets elected . The fact that the house exists does not take away the fact that we have an electoral college . We are still a union of states , not simply one nation . If you want to have the house elected on a purely popular national level vote dissolve the states . If you want the president to win by popular vote , dissolve the states . Until then we will have the electoral college .
