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....
I've thought of that idea before. I think for states with a lot of electoral votes it makes sense. California has what 54 votes? It really makes a republican voter worthless in terms of a vote. That's one reason I always say that going by the popular vote in the final results is stupid. People always say "well Clinton won by 3 million votes". Well, how many people decided not to even vote because they know their voice would not be heard. Same goes for Democrats in Texas.
Only issue though is states with only 3 electoral votes. How do you split that up? I don't think it's fair to split up 3...2 Republican. 1 Democrat just because 33% of the votes go Democrat.

Why doesn't the left change? Are you too smart for the deplorables? An increasing amount of people don't want the division that the left is selling, and are tiring of their childish behavior and tantrums.
Obama's slogan was CHANGE. Somehow it is supposed to apply to everyone else but the left.
The electoral college isn't going anywhere, as 2/3 of the states would need to agree to the change.
Not happening.
Actually 3/4 , meaning 38 states.
Aint happening
