A simple straight up and down popularity vote would place us back to Roman era Democracy.
Also to change our Voting System would take a Filibuster Proof Super Majority of 66 votes in the Senate to pass, a 51% majority in the House of Rep's and a President willing to sign it into Law. With Republicans Firmly in control of all those branches of Government, It Ain't Gonna Happen for a Generation at least. It's so funny to hear Hillary supporters Want to Abolish the Electorial College especially when it was that very way Bill Clinton Defeated George H.W. Bush in 1992 by having perot siphon votes away from Bush lol... Also how the Electoral College helped deliver JFK to win in 1960. If Hillary won the Race last Tuesday, The narrative how great and intelligent the Founding fathers were to give us the Electoral College is! How quickly how some forget and how quickly the narrative changes to fit the Agenda...
Democratic candidate John F. Kennedy defeated Republican candidate Richard Nixon in the 1960 United States presidential election. Kennedy is generally considered to have won the popular vote as well, by a narrow margin, but based on the unusual nature of the election in Alabama, political journalists John Fund and Sean Trende have argued that Nixon actually won the popular vote.[6][7][8]
