I really don't see why people think scrapping the EC is an outrageous idea... it's clearly an outdated system that was originally intended to keep the interests of white rich landowning guys in the WH....
Fine since this is most people's beef with the EC...here's my compromise: The presidential winner is the one who wins the popular majority...of the most states. No EC numbers, no delegates.
You just to win the popular majority in 26 or more of the 50 states. And looking back at the last few elections, we would've had the same winners each time.
But no you won't like that, because Wyoming would be the most powerful and the masses in Cali wouldn't. Well, that balances out what happens in the House, doesn't it?
Can you give a well thought out reason for why it's bad to simply have the person who wins the most votes as the winner of the election?
And also..."the masses" in California are just as much American citizens as you. Are you implying that their voice doesn't matter as much as yours does?
Well it probably would galvanize the middle of the country vs the coasts, if you love this divisiveness so much. I don't want policy dictated from the coasts and Chicago.
And I don't want policy dictated from Podunk, Wyoming. Works both ways.
