    HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania could become the nation’s first official “purple state.”

    Arguing that it will more fairly represent the will of the people, Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Chester, said Monday he plans to propose a change that would award the state’s electoral votes proportionally, in place of the current winner-take-all method.

    Interesting. But if votes in all states are proportional, the electoral college would be meaningless.

    The Electoral College should be meaningless. With todays technology the popular vote should be the only one that matters. That would be Democracy.
