With such a wide margin in this past election, it appears as though the fate of our democracy lies in the hands of a few, special, "swing" states. This antiquated system appears to have fallen out of sync with the demographic changes that have taken place since its inception. Although the system is able to help ensure States with minuscule populations also feel included in the democratic process, it is not able to account for the vast populations of the cities correctly. In order to rectify this situation, it is only logical to remove one electoral vote from each state, and then with those 50 electoral votes, give them to the candidate who has won the popular vote in order to ensure that every vote, no matter which state the voter lives in, ensure that every vote will count toward something while also maintaining the system that has resulted in many fair elections and smooth transitions since the founding of this system.
