Skulle valget kollegium afskaffes?
Nej, det valgkollegium sikrer repræsentation af hele landet i stedet for bare større byer
The Electoral College only emerged due to debate among the Founding Fathers, many of whom argued that Congress should reserve the power to choose the president. Their opponents, who supported the popular vote method, had to accept the new system in order to break the stalemate and reach a consensus. Furthermore, the Electoral College was introduced when political parties didn't exist, and electors could choose candidates independently. That's no longer the case, meaning each state (in practice if not always in principle) has all of their electors vote for the candidate who won that state.
This can and has overturned the will of the majority of voters multiple times, certainly not what was originally intended when the system was created. In short, the Electoral College does not allow each individual vote to matter in choosing our president, and its origin in a different time and context provides ample reason to either abolish or greatly modify it.
Notably, representation of differing regions of the United States still occurs through the election of our Congressional representatives, including proportional representation in the House of Representatives and equal representation in the Senate. This ensures that we all have a voice in the federal government through the legislature that implements the laws that impact us.
