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.
