    New Bill to eliminate the Electoral College

    The Founders did not mention "counties" in the Constitution as the basis for electoral victory "The reality is: Given our Electoral College and our current politics, national elections are decided in this country in a few precincts, in a few key swing states," former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson...

    New Bill to eliminate the Electoral College

    The presidential election system, using the 48 state winner-take-all method or district winner method of awarding electoral votes used by 2 states, that we have today was not designed, anticipated, or favored by the Founding Fathers. It is the product of decades of change precipitated by the...

    New Bill to eliminate the Electoral College

    In Gallup polls since they started asking in 1944 until the 2016 election, only about 20% of the public has supported the current system of awarding all of a state's electoral votes to the presidential candidate who receives the most votes in each separate state (not mentioned in the U.S...

    New Bill to eliminate the Electoral College

    Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in 2015 was correct when he said "The nation as a whole is not going to elect the next president," “The presidential election will not be decided by all states, but rather just 12 of them. Candidates have no reason to poll, visit, advertise, organize, campaign, or...

    New Bill to eliminate the Electoral College

    There have been hundreds of unsuccessful proposed amendments to modify or abolish the Electoral College - more than any other subject of Constitutional reform. In Gallup polls since they started asking in 1944 until the 2016 election, only about 20% of the public has supported the current...

    New Bill to eliminate the Electoral College

    There are good reasons why no state awards their electors proportionally. Electors are people. They each have one vote. The result would be a very inexact whole number proportional system. Every voter in every state would not be politically relevant or equal in presidential elections. It...

    New Bill to eliminate the Electoral College

    Voters in the biggest cities in the US have been almost exactly balanced out by rural areas in terms of population and partisan composition. 16% of the U.S. population lives outside the nation's Metropolitan Statistical Areas. Rural America has voted 60% Republican. None of the 10 most rural...

    Do you like the Electoral College system?

    Most Americans don't ultimately care whether their presidential candidate wins or loses in their state or district . . . they care whether he/she wins the White House. Voters want to know, that even if they were on the losing side, their vote actually was equally counted and mattered to their...

With the current state-by-state winner-take-all system of awarding electoral votes (not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but later enacted by 48 states), it could only take winning a bare plurality of popular votes in only the 11 most populous states, containing 56% of the population...

    Do you like the Electoral College system?

    The electoral college, in itself, does not guarantee the individual rights of states. The states have individual constitutional authority to decide how to award their electoral votes. Unable to agree on any particular method for selecting presidential electors, the Founding Fathers left the...

    Do you like the Electoral College system?

    Recounts would be drastically LESS necessary. You would NOT see a scramble to recount the entire country rather than just 1 state. It would not be chaos. The current presidential election system makes a repeat of 2000 more likely. All you need is a thin and contested margin in a single state...

    Do you like the Electoral College system?

    The current electoral college system does NOT actually help PREVENT corruption. Under the current system of electing the President, every vote in every precinct matters inside every battleground state.

    Some polls now have Romney ahead.

    The main media at the moment, TV, costs much more per impression in big cities than in smaller towns and rural area. Candidates get more bang for the buck in smaller towns and rural areas. In the 2012 campaign, so far, “Much of the heaviest spending has not been in big cities with large...

    Some polls now have Romney ahead.

    Because of the state-by-state winner-take-all electoral votes laws (i.e., awarding all of a state’s electoral votes to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in each state) in 48 states, a candidate can win the Presidency without winning the most popular votes nationwide. This has...

    Should states give their Presidential Delegates Proportionally?

    The amazing system we have now means that in the 2012 election, only 12 states and their voters, at most, will matter. At most, 12 states will determine the election. Candidates will not care about at least 76% of the voters-- voters in 19 of the 22 lowest population and medium-small states, and...

    Should states give their Presidential Delegates Proportionally?

    In 2008, voter turnout in the 15 battleground states averaged seven points higher than in the 35 non-battleground states. If presidential campaigns did not ignore 200,000,000 of 300,000,000 Americans, one would reasonably expect that voter turnout would rise in the two-thirds of the country...

    In terms of recent presidential elections, the 11 largest states include five "red states (Texas, Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, and Georgia) and six "blue" states (California, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New Jersey).

    Should states give their Presidential Delegates Proportionally?

    Should states give their Presidential Delegates Proportionally?

    Any state that enacts the proportional approach on its own would reduce its own influence. This was the most telling argument that caused Colorado voters to agree with Republican Governor Owens and to reject this proposal in November 2004 by a two-to-one margin. If the proportional approach...
