Electoral College Reform: Calls for Change Intensify Ahead of 2024 Election

Critics argue that the system undermines democratic principles and overrepresents smaller states, prompting debates on potential reforms.

The Electoral College has faced criticism for allowing candidates to win the presidency without the popular vote.
Small margins in swing states have determined recent elections, raising questions about the system's fairness.
Proposed reforms include proportional allocation of electoral votes and abolishing the Electoral College entirely.
The current system gives disproportionate influence to less populous states, skewing representation.
Reform advocates highlight the need for a system that better reflects the popular vote while protecting political minorities.
