amend the Constitution, abolishing the Electoral College in favor of election by national popular vote.

The Electoral College, used only for Presidential selection, is an outmoded system that deserves amendment.
The Electoral College has given undue power and attention to the few states with relatively equal chance voting for both candidates.
The President is a national representative and deserves to be directly elected from the nation as a whole rather than the various states.
The Electoral College only serves to further the bitter division between red states and blue states, while also encouraging voter apathy as citizens feel their votes rarely count if not in swing states.
A national popular election would increase voter participation, allow the candidates to cater to national issues rather than niche swing state ones, and allows areas currently ignored to interact more with candidates.
