The First Step to Fixing the Electoral College | Robert Reich (video)

 

Credit:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFZyFmILb5w

ezs note:  I had considered a number of ways that the silliness of the Electoral College system could be abolished, but Robert Reich's idea seems more practical, and has already gained some traction by having a number of states adopted the idea.  See the video, and if you agree, contact your state representative and state senator and urge them to vote for the bill.  Thanks.
