The United States Electoral College is the mechanism established by the United States Constitution for the indirect election of the President of the United States and Vice President of the United States. Citizens of the United States vote in each state at a general election to choose a slate of "electors" pledged to vote for a party's candidate. The Twelfth Amendment requires each elector to cast one vote for president and another vote for vice president.

No, but reform the electoral college from a winner-take-all system to an electoral college with individual districts.
@8CN7P7L4yrs4Y
No, but we need to make our elections more secured the voice of the people matter.
@8QPG4TW4yrs4Y
No, but the requirement that a candidate must receive 270 electoral votes to win should be removed, and instead, the candidate who receives the most electoral votes should win. I feel that this would greatly increase the odds of a third-party candidate being elected.
@8QM9QMR4yrs4Y
No, but incorporate a ranked voting system into it.
@kaparker4yrs4Y
No, but reform so that each state is equally represented or given the attention they deserve.

Yes unless it's changes to reflect the popular vote so the people's votes matter.
@93G2RP73yrs3Y
No, but states elections should use a Ranked Choice Voting system
