I have given some thought to this EC [supposed] conundrum.
To abolish the EC completely would mean the large urban areas would dominate the elections - not a healthy solution at all.
What do you think of this option?
1. Each Congressional District gets 1 EC vote - awarded to the presidential candidate who carried that district.
2. Each state gets 2 EC votes - awarded to the presidential candidate who carried the state.
It would tie the EC votes closer to the voter’s preference for President.
Of course, I think the Democrats may not like it. I may be that the GOP would actually be stronger this way - but maybe not. Think about how many years the Democrats were in control of the US House of Representatives - did that reflect on the presidential votes for Democrats too - or did some of those districts split their vote for POTUS and for
Representative? It would be interesting to actually study the past 10 presidential elections using the congressional district’s presidential preference for awarding the EC vote.
Finally I do think Presidential Electors voting for the candidate they feel like voting for instead of be obliged to support the candidate who won that state’s vote should be changed. They must vote the way the citizens voted IMHO.
Democrats can’t even win a popular vote majority in LA.
What’s their solution to that? Abolish elections? Democrats have a far bigger problem than losing the EC.
The American people aren’t on their side. Period.
