The electoral college system was designed to keep the larger population States from overriding the smaller population States.

What you propose is to allow CA & NY to call the shots, over the States in between.

I’m well aware of that and I’m all for it, and what I’m proposing would do no such thing.

What I’m proposing is eliminating the step where the “electors” vote. The election process should end once the general election is over and the number of electoral votes have been tabulated.

For example, at the end of this past general election Trump had I believe 306 electoral votes and Hillary 232. That should have been the end of the story.

We don’t need the people called the “electors” to have the final the final say.
