Pinky on the Electoral College

A number of years ago, based on some late night conversation and I am sure copious amounts of wine, some friends and I set out to prove state-by-state, how the electoral college is a misrepresentation of the people. I am not sure how many people know that some states do not require their electoral vote to represent the popular vote. Or that the casting of the same is not tied to the percentage of the voting population who actually visits the polls during any given presidential election. If I remember clearly, we demonstrated (at least to our own wee hour satisfaction) that Montana could be a deciding factor in a presidential election EVEN IF NONE OF THE POPULATION VOTED. Don't ask me to reverse engineer that proof, but you may want to visit this article for some critical thinking of your own.....
