Should the US abolish the electoral college?

The presidency should be decided by equal individual votes, not state-weighted winner-take-all distortions.

It ensures that the winner of the national popular vote wins the presidency, upholding the core democratic principle of majority rule.

A national popular vote would make every vote count equally and end the risk of a president winning without a majority of Americans' support.

Abolishing it requires a near-impossible constitutional amendment and would let a few dense metros dominate national campaigns, so reforms like the National Popular Vote compact are the more realistic fix.
