I would be open to changing the electoral college from the winner-take-all system that is currently in place to a proportional-result based on percentage of overall vote in each state similar to how many state primaries are run, which would give 3rd party candidates a fighting chance in a general election, but that's as far as I'd go. No way should the electoral college be abolished. |
A proportionally distributed electoral vote count is the only way out of a two party system, but it's not too difficult to understand why the beneficiaries of such a system would never allow that to happen.
