Not completely against eliminating the electoral college, but don't listen to lefitst propaganda as to why it exists.

The Electoral College is antiquated, slavery is long gone. The Electoral College should be abolished. One person, one vote.

It was NOT the ONLY reason.


Funny how some can take 1 instance out of many and ONLY post the 1 he is concerned about!

If the electoral college were abolished, wouldn’t that mean that California would decide who the President is?

Wonder if RCV was allowed in the 2020 Election how it would play out.

Have Split Electoral College like Nebraska and Maine

Be interesting to see if Third Parties could be more prominent. Also I think if on 48 State Ballots should be allowed to debate.
