Destroy the two party system by requiring that the winner of the presidency get a majority of votes. If no one gets a majority, then the top two have a run off.

“Destroy the two party system by requiring that the winner of the presidency get a majority of votes. If no one gets a majority, then the top two have a run off.”

No, we should not move to a popular vote system. The Electoral College needs to be preserved. It is the most brilliant manner of choosing an executive yet devised.

The Electoral College is a assembly of representatives that sits for one purpose, to choose the president...the people indirectly choosing the president instead of directly...to preserve liberty and avoid popular tyrants.
