the electoral college- should it be changed?

[Lemur]

I do think we shouldn't let people who receive net money from the government vote. If the government is going to rob Peter to pay Paul, we shouldn't let Paul vote.

I'll second this as a fine idea. I would couple it with a proposal floated some years ago that the order of states in the primaries should be in descending order of voter turnout. In other words, if Rhode Island has a 43% voter turnout, they'll vote after Maine, which had a 44% turnout.

The thing I like about this is that it awards participation and punishes apathy. Good things, yes?
