Senator Bill, being so much smarter than all the Founding Fathers, smarter than Sam Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington, smarter than Thomas Payne and John Adams and Benjamin Franklin...
Or not.

It’s time to do away with the electoral college. And the sooner, the better.

Sec. 1. The President and Vice President shall be jointly elected by the direct vote of the qualified electors of the several States and territories and the District constituting the seat of Government of the United States. The electors in each State, territory, and the District constituting the seat of Government of the United States shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the legislative body where they reside. Sec. 2. Congress may determine the time, place and manner of holding the election, the entitlement to inclusion on the ballot, and the manner in which the results of the election shall be ascertained and declared.
Four reasons for why this particular proposed will never be adopted (not that there aren't more reasons):
1 - The balance struck by the Electoral College would be destroyed.
2 - Every Presidential election would have the entire country be one giant Florida.
3 - This proposal would allow the Territories to vote in Presidential elections.
4 - This proposal would transfer over to the Congress the authority the States have over Presidential elections.

He is a real moron. They could never get the votes from the small states to ratify.

The Constitution being torn up to fit Democrats.Who cares? The Constitution has been dead for some time now. But dare I say you won't find one man in this country willing to fight for its return. Too many "risks".

Computerize the electors! (Hell, calculatorize them!) Since they vote predictably and only one way, don't ask questions (as they should have this year), get expensive the perks, who needs them?! An archaic, meaningless, ridiculous ritual. One Chinese kid with no knowledge of U.S. politics and no biases could do it with that:

As long as 13 states say no then he can introduce and congress can pass as many amendments as they want to but they won’t be adopted.
