What are the pros & cons of replacing the USA electoral college with a popular vote?
That makes sense. Do you think there are any other potential modifications to the electoral college system that could address some of these challenges?
One option that has been proposed is to allocate electoral votes based on the popular vote in each state, rather than winner-takes-all. This could help to make the system more fair and reflective of the popular will while still maintaining some of the benefits of the current system. However, this would also require significant reforms to the way we conduct elections in the U.S.
