Major campaign underway to nullify Electoral College

I did not suggest that you think the US should adopt Canada's system. I'm suggesting that if you are consistent you should advocate direct election of the PM of Canada as well as that of the US.

I for one wouldn't mind if the EV were distributed by congressional district, with the caveat that Americans simply can't be trusted to take the politics out of redistricting. The rest of the English Speaking world does it fine, but the political atmosphere in the US is so poisonous as to make that impossible outside of super-majority states

I might be able to support a popular vote but only if it were accomplished the intended way: A constitutional amendment. If I was a governor and this bill hit my desk, I'd veto it. I think that's an abuse of the federalist idea of giving the states the right to dole out their electoral votes however they choose.

Then why does the constitution explicitly give states the right to dole out their electoral votes however they choose?
