Abolishing or amending the electoral college requires a constitutional amendment which js a nonstarter. A more practical approach is making each state’s electors proportional - this would also give candidates an incentive to campaign everywhere.

@wordsaretools @AndrewYang Do you know who the electors are? What prevents them from “being susceptible to group think”?

@humaniTfirst @AndrewYang The electors vote in line with the majority of their state’s choice for President. The majority picks for the state.

@Brandon49897353 @AndrewYang We don’t live in a democracy-we live in a Constitutional Republic. It was designed that way for a reason. The founding fathers feared mob mentality among other things. It’s still on person one vote -it applies to the electoral component of your state.

@zijital @AndrewYang Umm...Many if they Northeastern states are small and get attention. It’s depends on how the electoral map will work out...it’s shows that one bit in a state can cause a difference in the electoral make up-much like 2016

@meow2008 @AndrewYang It counts. That how you choose your representatives form your state and how the electoral college is determined. Based on representation and population.

@wordsaretools @AndrewYang Bull, and I can't stress this enough, shit. My vote should count for me. Only me.

@wordsaretools @AndrewYang You are just incredibly wrong. Every Republican vote in California is a waste. Every Democratic vote in Mississippi is a waste. What if NO votes were wasted and all were counted? What if candidates felt more incentive to campaign everywhere knowing that EVERY vote would count?

@wordsaretools @AndrewYang How often do the least populated states get visits? Never.

@wordsaretools @AndrewYang The policy he shared literally says "Improving the Electoral College," not getting rid of it.

@wordsaretools @AndrewYang Why would we be appealing to large swaths of unpopulated land. People vote not land.

@wordsaretools @AndrewYang There are only two candidates. There's gonna be some groupthink.

@wordsaretools @AndrewYang As is our current system is more dangerous. Candidates only give a shit about Florida, the 4 Midwestern states, AZ and North Carolina. That means 43/50 states basically don't matter to the president at all
