2) So the alternative. Which is every American with voting rights has an equal say in who becomes president is way worse than a dated system that was made so slave states could have a little more pull.

3) Other than your claim democrats would win every election. Is there any good reason to not use a popular vote with the technology we now have?

1) And only going by the latest 2, it is accompanied by a strong showing from a 3rd candidate. So instead of the left crying about how the EC caused them the election, they should cry about those that voted for Johnson. So even if we went popular just like all the left is crying about now Hills does not have the Majority so she would not automatically be President, just as Trump would not have if he hadn't got the majority of the EC.

2) Every American has an equal say with in their State and every state has a proportional say in who governs their Nation.

3) Yes, because in a Nation of United States, each state should have a voice; as we are a diverse Nation.


If Congress decides tomorrow to scrap the EC in favor of an alternate plan, then folks can whine because their Candidate won under the new plan, if it ever happened. I would not be opposed to a revamping that awarded EC on a proportional bases. Therefore, each state gets its say.  As for the current state it is nothing but sour grapes and a tactic employed to further divide the country.
