32. disagree but
with a caveat. I have read thru everyones ideas in this thread and proportionality has not been mentioned so I thought I would add it to the mix.
My idea of modernizing the electoral college is modify it so that winner in each state does not take all. If the leading candidate gets 58% of the popular vote then he/she gets 58% of electoral votes losers get their prospective percentages too. Thus the election is popular while retaining the rein on the the larger states.
This I think would empower more people and reflect the will of the people better IMHO.
