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.

OK, I see what you were getting at; change it from electors to electoral points.

Needs a constitutional amendment though; the Constitution talks about electors going to vote in their respective capitals.
