re: #92 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

I would be for keeping the EC but only as a backup to kick in if no candidate gets an uncontestable majority. That would not alter the outcome of elections like 2000 or 2016 but might be a step in the right direction.

I would also be for amending the EC so that electoral votes are based on actual population and not seats in Congress, but that is not at all likely to happen.

Well, the House is not sized in proportion to state population either. (Nebraska with 1,800,000 and three House seats vs. California with 37,250,000 people and fifty-three House seats, or Wyoming with Wyoming with 560,000 and one House seat). The GOP is not interested in straightening out representation in the US House either.
