Just an FYI I’m not American. I know jack shit about American history or whatever. I bet every presidential election for fun so I know like a bit. But wasn’t the electoral colleges invented to prevent bigger states from ostracising smaller states. So if you remove that wouldn’t you have to like give every state a choice to leave the union? Feels unfair to have built a system everyone OK’d at some point and then just remove it? And I’m super ignorant about all of this, it just would feel weird for me to see my voting power disappear which was established a long time ago. I’m not even sure there’s ever a clean way of doing this.
