I strongly believe that a national popular vote is exactly the wrong direction for the country; it'd be far better to eliminate the popular vote entirely and have the state governments allocate their electoral votes. I think the madness is that we vote for the president at all. We are a federal republic, not a unitary state; the President presides over the United States, not the people of the several states, and should thus be selected by the states. As you might imagine, I'd like to repeal the 17th Amendment as well: the people are represented by our … Representatives; we don't need to also have super-representative Senators; right now, the states have no voices in the federal government, which just seems wrong. I'd be open to a system in which the state legislature allocates two electoral votes and a popular election allocated the state's remaining electoral votes, mirroring the federal system of representatives and senators.
