Comment Election reform (Score 1) 419
Well I think there are a few things we can do to fix the system. The first is to reform the electoral college or do away with it. I personally believe that once we have a open digital system for voting, that we could do a straight popular vote for the presidency.
If that isn't possible, I believe we need to reform the electoral college. Giving two free votes to every state seems silly to me. It's a dated policy that gives people living in small states a bigger say in who gets to be president. It also makes it a lot closer to a popular vote as each district is fixed every ten years based on population. (I did some rough math and the results for this election ended up being the same, and actually split down the popular vote)
