Something to think about. The Electoral College pretty much guarantees a 2 party system. It's too hard for a 3rd party to win a state, much less half of them. If we go to the popular vote, that makes it possible for 5 or 6 candidates to have a chance of winning. So you would end up with Hillary, Biden, Bernie, Trump, Cruz and Jeb all vying for the popular vote, hoping for a Jesse Ventura moment.
