@MontereyJack,
the electoral college was brought into being in oorder to equalize representation in making the democratic republic work. It protected the small (population) states from being swallowed by the New Yorks, Pa's, and Virginias. Nowadays its just the opposite, the folks in the larger states have their representation diluted so much that they are often disenfranchised. We will see more and more that this condition
condition will prevail.
Abandoning several conditions, starting with "winner take all" will help distribute the Disenfranchisement between the parties.. It was NEVER in the Constitution and is a manipulation of what the EC was first esigned to be.
We are hardley one voter, one vote when it coms to the executive, which then wrests the power of selecting the Judiciary
