The simple fact is that as long as the system remains how it is, HOWEVER I choose to vote, If I live in Idaho, my vote is converted to a vote for the republican candidate for president that carries more weight than a voter in California, or New York. The current system is designed to keep the 2 parties in power & not allow a 3rd, or more.I agree with your point, but one must realize to take that stance is indeed a "wasted" vote.
We lost a good man today when Ross Perot died. I voted for him because he made more sense than Dole or Clinton. However, his candidacy likely handed the election to Clinton.
Bottom line, when voting, we must take very seriously what the unintended ramifications may be.

To me it is not a "Wasted" vote. Its a Protest vote. If the 3-5% of the population that voted for someone other than one of the 2 major party candidates were to grow to something like 20% to 30%, some real change may take place, including restructuring of the 2 major parties.
The founding fathers warned against political parties in general.Yes, and if my aunt had testicles, she'd be my uncle. Meaning that you're making an assumption that 20-30% of the voters feel the same as you.
I see your point & it has merit, but as of now I still trust the judgement of our founding fathers far more than any current political player.
I am afraid of the unforeseen & unintended consequences of your proposal.
Hey mafesto, did ya miss me?
Doesn't this go against the republican priciples of a smaller federal government and giving the power back to the states.
Just curious???
Why should one state have the power to mandate what is available for purchase in other states?
