Not to mention the fact that the US Electoral college system discourages many from voting, because the states they live in are already "spoken for". If it had been a nationwide popular election for Prez, Kerry would have won in a landslide.  Not that a popular presidential election will be happening any time soon, it is clearly to the disadvantage of the GOP, everyone having an equal say. |
Be sour if you like but President Bush got more votes than any candidate in the history of elections in the USA. It is clearly a disadvantage of the Democrats when it comes to numbers of people voting and geographical coverage.

Just like there is a house (votes based on population) and senate (all states get only two votes) there is a balance in how the President is elected via the electoral college. Here is a link to a history lesson proving that there is no bias:
