I think it should be a popular vote election. Whoever gets the most votes, wins. It's that simple.

I don't subscribe to the idea that candidates would only campaign in the big cities to win the votes there. I think they would still need to campaign around the nation. I think you can look at this election as an example. Trump himself said he didn't bother campaigning in California or New York because he knew he wouldn't win there, yet he still only came up 3 million votes shy in an election where nearly 129 million votes were cast.

I think the Electoral College is outdated and it encourages corruption and voter fraud while disenfranchising voters all across this country.
