    The EC has been obsolete since the advent of radio. At this point, it's purely a tool to allow unpolular candidates (i.e., almost always Republicans) to win nonetheless. Signing on to the Compact is perhaps the most important thing the Democrats now in charge of those states can do with their power.

    A solution that doesn’t require a constitutional amendment but would make the electoral college better is
    1) uncapping the house
    2) awarding electors by congressional district (like Maine and Nebraska do)
    3) anti-gerrymandering laws

    As a Canadian, we wished that we had a system like the Electoral College. The Canadian electoal system doesn't have this system, and the The provinces of Ontario & Quebec basically dectate policy into for the entire county. Every province is vulnerable to the will of Ontario / Quebec.

    We need to talk about how you abandoned us for Ireland a country that is still funding the IDF and funnels stuff to Russia. You self deported for what. You did exactly what they want.

    I moved to Wisconsin as an adult and it immediately became VERY clear that my vote means more now. Campaigns fight for my vote much harder than they fight for votes elsewhere in the country. It's sickening.

    I was hoping for an Electoral College reform. My fear is by eliminating the Electoral College Only the coastal states will be relevant. I live in Michigan, Will my vote still count?

    I'm of the opinion that each citizen should have to earn the right to vote and not as an automatic bequeathment at birth. Perhaps military or national / local service, ownership of a home and /or business, holding a responsible public position or duty, et al. As it stands, a person in this country could 'float through mid-air, doing, owning or touching nothing for a lifetime and still have enfranchisement.' It might also make said individual feel more of an integral part of this nation, that their vote counts and that they matter … 🤔
