Electoral College

Anyway,the one thing that seems weird about the elections it is the way the final canidates receive votes.Rather than going by the counties they go by state and it seems to me like an all or nothing gambit.This then means that canidates could win all of the "big states"and only pay attention to the "lesser," states with smaller populations.
For example take California,it has well over 50 votes while Alaska only has 3,which do you think the canidates will pay more attention to?
Both the Republican and the Democratic parties have states that they usually win(Texas,California.)
Also, going by counties could reduce the amount of time it takes to determine the winner while going by state could significantly delay the outcome.
So, what are your thoughts on this?
Hope it wasn't that boring.
