Electoral College Amendment Discussion

Pros

• Popular Vote: Many users support moving towards a Popular Vote system to decide presidential elections.
  • "If we're going to go through doing a whole amendment, why not just get rid of the Electoral College and have them report their vote totals for a presidential election being decided by a Popular Vote?"
• Enshrining the Right to Vote: Some users believe that a constitutional amendment to solidify the right to vote is necessary.
  • "the citizens need to provide proof when necessary (ie a voter ID) ... we can eliminate the electoral college and have a national vote ONLY IF we use some form of ranked voting to kill the duopoly party stranglehold."
• Uniformity in Voting Rules: Suggestions include having all states adhere to the same voting rules controlled by the federal government.
  • "All 50 states should have exactly the same rules, exactly the same responsibilities as they all get exactly the same benefits."
• Ranked Choice Voting: Proposed implementation of Ranked Choice Voting for all national elections.

Cons

• Opposition to Electoral College: Many users are against keeping the Electoral College system.
  • "Just get rid of the electoral college."
• Democratic Concerns: Concerns were raised about potential biases and unfair advantages under the current system.
  • "Everyone but politicians hates the current system, so why would we want to solidify said system in the Constitution?"
• Potential Party Bias: Some users expressed skepticism about party motivations in pushing for certain changes.
  • "What I love about a proposal like this is the only reason the Democrats want it is because they think it would benefit them."

Other Suggestions

• Increasing the number of House Representatives to ensure a smaller ratio for constituents per representative.
• Implementing voter ID as a national standard with free issuance in communities.
• Starting elections on Fridays and ending on Sunday nights with a two-day school holiday.

Constitutional Amendment Opinions

• Solidifying the Right to Vote: Some users voiced support for explicitly stating the right to vote in the Constitution.
  • "For some reason people really hate being reminded there isn't an express protection for the right to vote recognized by the Supreme Court. I would like it if we actually got that protection spelled out."
• Electoral College Removal: Several comments call for the removal of the Electoral College in the amendment process.
  • "If there is to be any amendment in relation to the electoral college, the only thing to focus on is its removal from the process."
