Re: Is the Electoral College recognized as having lived ot its useful life? If so, perhaps we could do up a worthwhile constitutional amendment.
For the same reason we have an Electoral College there's no way to get a Constitutional Amendmendt on the ballot - such a suggestion would have to pass the Senate, wherein even the smallest state has two representatives who would be against the idea. For the same reason the EC is bad, it can't ever be changed - it gives an inordinate amount of authority to the "small" states, and those states, now that they have it, are not likely to give it up. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
