  • The electoral college is ass but getting rid of it would actually make the specific problem you’re describing worse. If the election were decided by popular vote then the margins change but so do the attack vectors. Now instead of being forced to successfully change votes in multiple locations in multiple swing states you can potentially alter the outcome by changing the tallies in one highly populated county. Doing something like that once is a lot easier than doing it 8 times simultaneously.

    I still think getting rid of the EC is a good idea but we should make sure we fully understand what that means.
