The thing is, a national popular vote would greatly reduce the probability of a recount being necessary. The Electoral College artificially creates "close" situations.

Incorrect. Doesn't have anything to do with state vs. federal power. Nothing at all. It's simply a voting system for the head of state.

Also incorrect. The current system gives rural areas a lot more influence than is just...but a national popular vote gives every voter equal influence.
