Dump the Electoral College: Presidents should be elected by the popular vote only

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : In response, Congress passed the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act of 2022 to clear it all up and moved the Electoral College to the first Tuesday after the second Wednesday in December.
51% : Give Harris those 44 electoral votes and she tops Trump 270 to 268, even though he beat her by millions.
49% : Despite Donald Trump getting 77.3 million votes of Americans last month, 2.3 million more than Kamala Harris, he won't win the presidential election until today, when the Electoral College meets in 50 state capitals and in D.C. to cast their votes and those votes are counted and certified on Jan. 6.
48% : While this is the 60th Electoral College meeting for states like New Jersey and Connecticut and most of the original 13 states (North Carolina and Rhode Island had not yet ratified the Constitution), it's only No. 59 for New York even though our ancestors did ratify the Constitution in time.
24% : So we have a really dumb method to choose a national leader, but it's still the only vote that counts, as Trump was fully, legally and legitimately elected in 2016 over Hillary Clinton even though she had 2.9 million more votes.
19% : Like 2016, it would be an odd outcome, with the choice of more Americans, in this case, Trump, being denied.
7% : The 2020 disputed election, which Joe Biden clearly won and Trump clearly lost (both in popular and electoral votes) saw fake electors, phony theories about the vice president being able to reject certified results and a mob attacking the Capitol on Jan. 6.
