We live in a democracy.The individual's cast ballot has always been officially, totally meaningless.
"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress"
-- U.S. Const., Art. II, sec. 1, cl. 2 (emphasis mine).
Jealous?
