The Electoral College is antiquated and no longer suits the needs of the people or modern times

I agree in theory, however I think any sort of winner takes all system is questionable. Would you rather have a candidate that 51% of the country chose as their first choice or a candidate that 70% of the country chose as their second choice. Who is more likely to reduce gridlock and actually pass policies that help a larger majority of Americans? I'm all for changing the electoral college, but only if we moved to some format of ranked voting.

The electoral college disproportionately favors small states and disadvantages people in favor of land. It’s DEI for rural communities.

agreed the electoral college is outdated and often as effective as the Oscars to determine a good choice which is to say not at all.

Getting rid of the electoral college removes the voices of people in rural america, and only prioritizes those in the big cities

The problem isn’t the Electoral College. The Electoral College exists to preserve federalism by preventing a handful of dense population centers from dominating everyone else. The United States is a union of states, not a national democracy, and the presidency is an office with enormous centralized power that should not be decided by raw majority rule.
Abolishing the Electoral College wouldn’t empower “the people”, it would further centralize power, incentivize mass manipulation, and make national elections even more susceptible to demagoguery, media control, and ballo…  Read moret harvesting. If anything, liberty is better protected by decentralizing political power further, not by concentrating it in a single nationwide popular vote.
If you truly believe the people should choose, the real solution isn’t abolishing the Electoral College, it’s radically shrinking the federal government so that who wins the presidency matters far less in the first place.

agree — the Electoral College is outdated. The people should choose the president directly, not electors.

I agree because the common people will be very effected by the election, but their voices aren't heard enough.

Yes i agree strongly about this. The Electoral College no longer suits the modern people, and its an unfair way to vote. The people should choose.

I agree with this statement because there have been multiple elections where a candidate did not win even though they had the popular vote with thousands more votes towards them, despite not getting enough electoral votes.
