Same Day
Disadvantages:
-One could literally win on name recognition
-No retail campaigning
-Everyone would hide out in CA or TX
-Alaska's vote would never matter
-Nobody would get anywhere close to a majority

Current
Disadvantages:
-long
-boring


Neither has any advantages.

Advantage surely lmao.

Never really know why American assume that a popular vote would mean you would easily win if you dithered around in LA for a bit. I mean ... that doesn't hold much logic tbh.

I think it would be good. It would reward building coalitions and allies who can stump for you, and be a damper on personality cults like Trump. Stick an IRV as well, and you could have a majority and a bit more peace.
