The Electoral College has a 5% failure rate of electing the president. Two of the three failures have been in the 21st century, and in the year 2000, Al Gore who won the popular vote AND the electoral college, did not become President because the Supreme Court gave the Presidency to Bush. The electoral college also has failed to protect the small states from the big states, because candidates don't even focus on the small states, only on swing states which is super detrimental to every American. Abolishing the Electoral College, and replacing it with a Rank Choice Voting system would not only allow more representation for every American citizen, but voters from states like Kansas who are Democrats could express their vote for the first time without being overshadowed by a major Republican voter base in the State. RCV also opens the gates for more political parties, which means no more two-party system which we ALL hate.
