Enact an “Electoral College Threshold”. This threshold would signify when the overall margin of the popular vote is greater than 1%, then the winner of the popular vote shall be elected. If the margin of the popular vote is LESS than 1%, then the election shall be deferred to the Electoral College, as in its current state. Additionally, the Electoral College votes should be recalculated based on state population for each election. Population concentrations can change quickly, and adding this caveat would ensure accuracy and safeguard democracy.
Enabling a potential victory via popular vote would significantly increase voter turnout nationwide. When every voter knows their vote has direct and equal impact to every other American, citizenship as a whole benefits.
