24. Absolutely abolish it!

I've been thinking more and more that we should have a parliamentary system like Canada and UK, where minority parties at least had a voice, and when no party receives a majority, coalitions are built. It's really messy, but at this point in our history, some of us in red states feel completely disenfranchised from our system of government. Candidates don't spend a dime here on advertising, don't bother to visit/campaign here. We might as well not exist except to provide our electoral votes to the total. It sucks!
