Electoral College

People say that the current electoral college process for voting is very controversial, and I would have to say that I agree with those people, and that's why I would change the current system. Many people think it's absurd that a candidate could win the popular vote but still lose the election due to electoral college votes. The winner take all system is a system for electing presidents where most electors rarely vote against who their state voted for in the popular election. The current electoral college system awards a specific number of votes proportional to the population of the state so that the power of the state is represented by the population. I would change the electoral process to where everyone's vote counts towards the election of the president and not just where the electoral college votes count. So technically everyone's vote would be equal to those who vote in the electoral college. My system would implement a drastic change and have no electoral college at all, the only votes would be those of the people. Voting would be same, Americans would go to  polling sites to vote but instead of their votes just going into the general popular election, it would count towards the actual presidential race. This system is better than the current system in place because it allows everyone's vote to actually count towards the decision of the next president of the United States, which is a huge deal. With no electoral college, Americans will feel like they have more power and influence on what happens in their country, especially when it comes to voting for the next president. The electoral college has voted down a different route than what the Americans voted for in the general popular election before, so this system will also motivate them to get out and vote, especially if they know that their vote could have a direct impact on how the presidential race plays out. This system allows the president who appeals the most to the people who are high, middle and low class Americans to win and not the president who appeals most to the electoral college which has contradicted the American people before.
