That is moronic. There is no valid reason why the value people's votes should be inversely proportional to the population density of their state. It is completely unfair to make our votes, as North Carolinians, count for less than they would if we lived in any one of 40 other states.

and really they count for even less than that since our primaries are so late and our state is so dependably republican.

presidential candidates hardly stop here to take a shit, much less listen to what our concerns are.

I'm not saying it's illegal. What it is.. is a bad law that will give the upper mid-east states control of the country.
