The Electoral College is flawed -- so are the alternatives: Experts

The Electoral College is flawed so are the alternatives: Experts © AP A map released by the Associated Press shows the Electoral College vote count as of 7:15 p.m. EST on Dec. 14, 2020. The map has been rotated and cropped by ABC. Democracy is built on majority rule and the concept that every person s vote counts. Yet five times in history, American presidents have won office while losing the popular vote, with two of those instances coming in the past 20 years George W. Bush in 2000 by a margin of around 500,000 votes and Donald Trump in 2016 by about 3 million. At issue is the uniquely American system of the Electoral College, which provides that a group of specially chosen representatives (538 at present) for each state choose the president, generally using a winner-takes-all model based on the popular vote.
