If this system weren't in place, I don't think anything would be different. Only voting would be made more fair, as almost every year the republicans lose they get the popular vote still. So technically, if this system weren't in place, mitt Romney probably would be president right now as he had the popular vote but lost in the electoral. If electoral collage weren't in place, politicians would just pander to areas with the most people. I'm in Ohio, and the amount of political adds we get pounded with as a swing state is rediculous. If electoral collage weren't in place, a politician would just have to pound a handful of cities with political adds, and offer tax breaks to the people living there.

The point of electoral collage, is that it allows farmers and argicultural people, who are spread out over a lot more area, to be represented just as well as people in the city.
