Look at what we have now...a POTUS who failed to get a majority of the votes cast and who most of THE MEDIA holds in "high disregard".
...and what group of people as a whole is more despised by the ordinary citizens of this country than they (aside from politicians, lawyers, used car salesmen and telemarketers...and the media probably trumps them as well)? Their far left agenda-driven BIAS has been demonstrated/proven r-e-p-e-a-t-e-d-l-y. Any agenda-less person needs to research no further back than this past election to very that as fact.
Surely we can (and should) do better with a popular vote process, REGARDLESS OF THE INTENTIONS OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS(!!!)...There is no need to stick with a system that ignores the wishes of OVER half of the voting population...
As has been mentioned before, The Founders were both individually and collectively some of, if not THEE best minds ever assembled in this or any other country. The system of government they designed has worked well for 240 years or so. 'Twould be wise not to start unraveling its basic tenets. Especially one that ensures, to the degree it can, that the majority of states wouldn't be governed by a minority of same simply because the minority number of states had a bigger total population. IOW, The Founders wanted the whole country to be governed by laws the majority of states agreed to...not by the opinion du jour dictated by a handful of states.
