Obviously I support, but it doesn't really work unless you have an identical ballot and voting rules in all 50 states. Otherwise, Democratic states should lower the voting age to 0 and pass mandatory mail-in voting.

The only way it gets abolished is if a Republican wins the popular vote but loses the electoral college and that's not going to happen anytime soon.

If that happened this November, Republicans would likely try to pass it immediately and have it apply retroactively to keep Trump in power.

At the very least, they should make it a count rather than a physical vote (no more possibility of faithless electors) and require states to allocate proportionally, including decimals to the tenth or hundredth. The winner take all system gives too big of a prize for a narrow win and silences the voices of all the blue state Republicans and red state Democrats.
