If the Electoral College were to be replaced with a system based on a direct popular vote, the distribution of political power and influence could be different. In a direct popular vote system, the candidate who receives the most votes nationwide would be elected, regardless of the distribution of those votes across the states. This could potentially give greater weight to the votes of citizens in larger cities and states, which tend to have larger populations.

Notice how they never present the alternative they want instead?
Some options provided below as an alternative, which one would you pick instead if you had to?
Direct popular vote: Under this system, the President and Vice President would be elected by a direct vote of the people, rather than by a group of electors. The candidates who receive the most votes nationwide would be elected.
Proportional representation: Under this system, the number of electors that a state is assigned would be based on the percentage of the national vote that the state's preferred candidate receives. This would ensure that the distribution of electors more closely reflects the distribution of votes nationwide.
National popular vote: Under this system, the President and Vice President would be elected by a national popular vote, but the states would agree to award their electors to the candidates who receive the most votes nationwide, rather than to the candidates who win the most votes in their own state.
Congressional districts: Under this system, the President and Vice President would be elected by a vote of the members of Congress, with each member representing a congressional district. This would give smaller states and districts a greater influence in the election.
Very much agree, where I can mention that ChatGPT has been trained on data which states that the topic of "Electoral College" is controversial and has been up for debate in terms of replacing it as well..
I am starting to wonder if the left is "taught" to believe that collectively humans must be smarter than previous generations, which is really not the case when it comes to philosophy and topics of political law!
Have a nice day together with a great answer, cheers!
