No aspect of the U.S. Constitution has been subject to more efforts at change than the electoral college method of selecting the president. While there are many proposals for change, such as the district method, proportional method, and the most popular, direct election, none have generated enough support yet to warrant changing the Constitution.
Where do you come down on this issue? Should we maintain the status quo or is there a preferred method of reform?

I think since people vote for who they want as president, direct popular voting should be enforced. People vote for who they want and the states getting to decide who rules over those people for the next 4 years isn't fair.
ReplyDeleteI feel a direct Popular Election to determine who holds office is the most logical. The states being able to determine by electorial votes isn't a true election determined by the people.
ReplyDeleteI like the current system. I feel it has done a fine job in the past, giving me no reason to want to change it.
ReplyDeleteI think it should be all about the popular vote. The people choose. Although it has never happened, a dirty electoral vote could change the whole election. That represents one person's decision, not the nations.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it should be at the top of the to-do list by any means, but it has been around for hundreds of years and there for out dated. So I do think it needs some work, but it all actuality it isn't that bad, perhaps a few minor adjustments are in order. I do not think however that it will ever happen. There are more important things that our politicians could be spending there time on.
