Pros of leaving:

1. There's a small chance that more people will vote since the president would be directly elected.
2. The EC has been wrong 4 times: 1824, 1876, 1888, and 2000.
3. Everyone's vote matters, not just the people who live in swing states.
4. No other country uses it.


Cons of leaving:
1. Only the most populated places will have any campaigning
2. 4 out of nearly 60 elections isn't that bad of a score.
3. Appealing in major cities doesn't work everywhere else.
4. The election takes longer to call, having to wait until every vote is counted.
