1 Person 1 Vote

I'm sure you already know this but living in a clearly red or blue state means that your presidential vote is not equal to that of a voter in Florida in 2000, Ohio in 2004 or what is seems like is a slew of swing states this year including CO, PA, VA, et al.

I'm a huge fan of 1 person, 1 vote, for the life of me I cannot figure out why our government hasn't changed this yet. I can only guess that one party thinks that replacing the electoral college with 1 person 1 vote would increase turnout which is not in their best interest.
