Replace Electoral College with Rank Choice Voting...

[ottomobeale]

Would like to see the EC go to some version of proportional. The point of small states needing a voice is valid. BUT the fact that the president is elected by about 10 states is also absurd. Anyone want to bet me on the CA presidential choice and take the GOP? How about TX and the Dems...

Why should 48 states be dictated to by California and New York? It makes absolutely no sense. People need to read history, why and HOW we were founded as a collection of States.

Our State government was supposed to be the PRIMARY government as it is closer to the PEOPLE, and we can have more influence over the politicians because they are in proximity. We have allowed the Feds to become way too powerful.

Stay with electoral system or go with popular vote.

Agree popular vote with an RCV voting system in place.

Feel an issue with EC is it promotes a duopoly system. Also feel EC is suceptible for Delegates to have bias and not vote for the winner of the State they represent.

Depends on the state law.

Truth but should be a Federal law

Feel if RCV was in place for all Federal Elections. Also Citizens were given donation dollars to give to their Candidates and no other money was given to Candidates. Be the game changer of Elections.
