‘If there were ever a time and shining example as to why states should adopt an “electoral college” system’

all that needs to happen is dumping the winner take all system; ME and NE do so, why not eveyone...?

Maine has Ranked Choice Voting, don’t they? And RCV is a disaster. Just look at what is happening in Alaska.

Every county gets 3 votes.

Simple majority...winner gets 2 votes, loser gets 1...so they can’t complain if the winner gets say, 50.1%

Overwhelming majority(60% or more)...winner gets all 3

I doubt you’d have more than 5 or 6 Democrat Governors, Lt Gov’s, AG, SOSs in across the country.

I know the folks like me, who don’t live in the cities, would love it if our votes and desires weren’t drowned out by the cities and the densely populated counties. Although, I’d love to see the 17th Amendment removed, adding that voting methodology to electing a Senator would be awesome.

Or is what I described what you’re talking about?
