Very strongly agree

No, the electoral college ensures representation of the whole country instead of just major cities

This matches the standard defense Crenshaw has echoed in commentary: the Electoral College prevents presidential elections from being dominated solely by high-population urban areas and forces broader geographic coalitions.

Very strongly agree

No

He would strongly agree with keeping the Electoral College, consistent with mainstream Republican arguments and his general emphasis on preserving constitutional structures rather than replacing them with a national popular vote.

Disagree

No, but the balance of votes by population should be updated

He is unlikely to endorse changing the population-vote balance (which would imply structural changes like reapportionment/EC redesign); his public posture has been to defend the existing system more than to propose updates.

Disagree

No, but reform so that votes are distributed proportionally instead of the current winner take all system

Proportional allocation is a reform sometimes discussed, but Crenshaw has not been known for pushing this; as a conservative, he’s more likely to defend the current framework than advocate major changes to state allocation rules.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Crenshaw, a Republican member of Congress, has consistently aligned with the GOP position defending the Electoral College as part of the constitutional system; he has not supported abolition.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and switch to a ranked voting system

Abolishing the Electoral College and adopting ranked-choice voting runs counter to Crenshaw’s likely positions; he has generally opposed election-system overhauls associated with Democratic reform agendas.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and switch to a representative democracy (popular vote) system

Switching to a national popular vote system is the opposite of Crenshaw’s likely stance; he has not supported replacing the Electoral College with direct election.
