> 65% of U.S. adults say the way the president is elected should be changed so
that the winner of the popular vote nationwide wins the presidency.
So leaving our elections up to L.A. and NYC. All Democrats from now on. Hard pass. The founding fathers got it right.
100% correct. The system isnt perfect, but the way it is for a reason. Anybody that wants it popular is just voting for a system that’s easier to overthrow.
How is it any easier to overthrow a popular vote?
It’s incredibly easy to overthrow a popular vote. How many dead people have been found voting for people? How many ballots in trunks of peoples cars last couple years? Take them out, put them in, not like federal oversight works, that was proven in PA during Trump/Biden. Having the electoral college is a layer of insulation for both that, and populous states and cities controlling everything while completely taking a voice from the rest of the country. Given that the popular has only been overridden twice in two decades, it’s hardly a bitching point.
