[Bean Counter]

Ya know, I’ve seen two or three different iterations of this half-assed scheme, and not one of them yet passes Constitutional muster.

If you don’t like the Electoral College, then get thee busy drafting an Amendment to the Constitution that will pass in Both Houses of Congress and 2/3rds of the States.

It’s hard to do for good reasons...

Actually it would have to be ratified by 3/4 of the states.

Article. V.

"The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate."

Don't ask me when that that time limit that killed the Equal Rights Amendment happened.

You need to re-read your Constitution. It takes 2/3 of each house of Congress to pass and 3/4 of the state legislatures to ratify an amendment to the Constitution.
