If the electoral college was abolished (and substituted for a popular vote system), how would candidates campaign?
Do you think it would also affect voter turnout?
That's a possibility. With a popular vote system, people in smaller states may feel like their vote doesn't matter as much, making them less likely to participate. However, on the flip side, candidates may be more motivated to campaign in these states to try and secure as many individual votes as possible.
