164. What's really unfair to California
isn't so much that Iowa gets too much influence over the early primary voting every four years, but that California only gets two votes in the Senate - same as Wyoming despite having a population about 60 times greater. That's on every Senate vote, evey year, year after year.

Sure, we should reform the system - get rid of the electoral college, have proportional representation in the Senate, publicly finace all elections, and have a rotating primary sytem, but right now Iowa's caucusing first isn't the worst of our problems.
