They should reform the Electoral College so votes are awarded proportionally. This prevent it from just being a popular vote, but also gets rid of the idiotic "winner take all" system that we have, which is decidedly undemocratic. This would also allow third parties a bit of attention, as I could see them winning a district or two, which could potentially lead to escalation in popularity.
Which means there will be no reform....
What do you mean by Electoral College votes being awarded proportionately?
I was thinking maybe the Democratic party should set an example in their primary system. If one person, one vote is the way to go then there is no need to have Superdelegates. It's like these votes are more special than others, if I understand correctly.
ALL I'm reading is RHETERIC HERE. No REAL benefits of the EC But for Republicans last BIG HOPE to win the Presidency.
All it is. If the other way around ..... they would cry eliminate it.
I say GIVE US THE VIRTUES for keeping the EC? Not just Rhetoric and non-answers but for not to.
Don't bother complaining, instead, start working to find 38 states that will agree to change the constitution, and eliminate their own power -- so that the democrats can win every election from now on.
It's not happening.
Or another idea: Go out and find a candidate that can win in flyover country. Obama did it twice, B. Clinton did it twice.

I want my 401K to increase and cash it in early as I near retirement. I was never big politically more now.
I'm getting a kick out of using the term FLYOVER County though. I would think that term would be avoided by both sides.
But still ..... there is no real benefit of the EC today. Why isn't it just EXTRA Government we don't need when we have the votes themselves to use.
If it comes down to the EC again ..... What does that truly mean? That is the question. Is it relevant today as it was original utilized for?
More and more the Nation has its population centers in every region. But mixing more and more.
Again, no one is addressing the EC itself and its need to not have merely largest states have a more voting population and therefore most influence. But to COME DOWN TO FLORIDAY AGAIN? A very populated state today and heavily retired folk to make our choice?

But don't you guys cry to eliminate it the way it is now?
