Stephen Chapman argues that campaigns target states rather than voters, explaining why Gore and Bush ignore many regions. He notes the Electoral College and its winner take all structure allow the vast public to feel like bystanders, cites district-based electoral reform as a potential alternative, and critiques the current system while preserving its broad effects.
