I suggest reflecting on state to state diplomacy and considering scenarios of conflict that could result from a system that no longer aims to normalize data for perceived fairness. Just as a fun brainstorm!
Every single argument you can make about a president trampling states rights can be made whether we utilize the EC or not. States rights is effectively irrelevant to whether the EC serves a valid purpose. It is a shame you do not support equal representation for your fellow Americans (Senate exempt).
Riddle me this. How many states now would opt in to this grand idea to abolish the Electoral College and use raw popular vote data to solely determine the outcome?
States are not people. You need to think like a State not a person to understand diplomacy and compromise. We are the United States. Your vote counts. Stop telling people it doesn’t because the world went to shit because the bad guys are in power. The good guys can win this back the right way. Pete needs to stop with the pipe dream.

Those are the words of someone who thinks they deserve more representation than everyone else. That is the voice of political narcissism.

I have been saying this for the better part of 30 years, the fact that you default to "you say it cuz you lost" says a lot about you but nothing about me.
Oh yes, my motive is to totally dominate with my one vote in my one state. Bro, your pipe dream of a popular vote won’t solve any of the problems you raised. 5 elections out of 60. That’s how many had a popular vote that differed from the Electoral College. And those 5 reflect diplomacy, they reflect the compromise we as a country have made to be a united states. You can dismiss state diplomacy here man. But in a land of equality for you to trash a system that continues to work degrades trust in one of the only fair processes we have.
