    I was mostly curious those that want to abolish it what their alternative solution is.

    Under popular vote, DeSantis is still running and maybe now he gets 63 billion votes from Florida alone. The impact of this fraud (there are not 63 billion ppl voting in Florida) is bigger with no electoral college.

    Other countries don’t have EC bc other counties don’t have our state and government structure.

    Yall do you. I’m not very political anyway.

      Popular vote works pretty well, that’s how we run every other election.

      If you didn’t know, the electoral college is a holdover from when slave states wanted to keep political control away from the North, where the population was rapidly growing while the South was falling apart.
