Why the Electoral College Will Be Banished
Why is the conversation always &quot;abolish vs keep as is?&quot; The EC seems like a good idea that brings equity to a diverse nation but needs some updating as things have changed dramatically since its creation. There are other possible changes that might help, like removing the winner take all situation. But just basing on popular vote alone creates the same problem we&#x27;re in but from the other direction. We need cities but we also need the rural areas (like our farm lands) and we need to represent both. But rural areas will never have the population size&#x2F;density of cities. We shouldn&#x27;t let fly over states decide the elections just the same way we shouldn&#x27;t let California and New York decide them. There&#x27;s got to be a better solution here that provides good equity.
