I support reforming it to remove "electors". If you win the state, you should get the EV's. Electors at this point can do no good, but could ruin a whole election process. They have no useful purpose.

We could remove the EC, but if we go to a popular vote, I want extremely strict voting rules. A nation wide voter list, everything computerized with a paper backup, independent firms counting the votes, some way of marking whether you voted (indelible ink, etc).   

The Democrats would never allow that.  That would "intimidate" their voters and be racist, and we could never have that.  Better to allow dead people to vote 5 x each.

I'd allow it. I'm not sure about the "independent firms" though, that's corruptable, but everything else he said is fine by me.
