Presidential Electorate Voting
Jun 12, 2020 11:18:02 #
I've read the US Constitution's Article 2 Section 1 and the 12th Amendment, and it's clear that the President and Vice-President are suppose to be elected by the Individual States' Congressional Representation.
Each House District Electorate is untended to cast their Vote based on their District's choice, and the Senate Electorates would cast their Vote for the State's overall choice.
I mean, do Laws in the US Congress pass based on a combined plurality of House and Senate votes for each State? Of course not. So, why would the Presidency and Vice-Presidency be elected in a combined plurality rather than the Individual House District Electorate casting their vote based on their District's choice and the Senate Electorates casting their vote based on their State's overall choice?
And yes, I understand what I'm proposing will need an Amendment passed by the Congress and Ratified by the States, and that's nearly impossible, but what the heck!
