My thoughts? Open this area of the Constitution up for actual change, and it'll be a disaster. I don't want to have any sort of bipartisan discussion about the EC issue until the Democrats lose this next election by a wide margin and realize they have to clean house. In fact, I will resist discussion of changes to the EC even if Democrats have won with it. The EC is one of our Founding Fathers' most brilliant ideas, and I am wary of anyone who wants to tinker with it.

Haven't we learned anything from the tinkering with the Senate via the 17th amendment? Why break the bond with the states via the Electoral College, too? Let's just abolish the entire concept of states and be done with it?
