Electoral College Reform

[Keith Broaders]

Winner Take All

The Winner Take All method of allocating electoral votes violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

If you don't vote  for the candidate who wins your statewide popularity contest your vote is not even counted. This is known as the tyranny of the majority/

Instead of having a statewide election we should comduct elections in each of the Congresional District. As it is now only the votes for the candidate winning the statewide popular vote is counted.

The current system favors the people who live metropolitan areas and disenfranchises those living in rural communities.

The States can have their state legislature choose the electors or the people in the Congressional District vote for the candidate of their choice.

The electors should be non partican and have the authority to vote their conscience

Maine and Nenraska are the only two states that have done away with the Winner Take All method of allocating their electoral votes.
