We need to dump the Electoral College. It is a dated concept. Otherwise you don't truly have Democracy. But then with electronic voting machines which are owned by questionable corporations owned by questionable people you won't have Democracy anyway. And the courts have ruled that it is okay for voting machines to use proprietary software. Of course I wouldn't expect anyone on "the courts" to be anything other than tech illiterate idiots.
