Electoral College Reform


If we must have an electoral college, here is how it could be structured.
Consider, the U. S. House of Representatives represents the people, each state is proportioned representatives according to its population.

The Electoral College represents the electorate, the voters, therefore electors should be apportioned according to the number of registered voters in each state.
Then, when the election is over, those electors will vote in proportion to the registered voters who actually voted.

For example, if a given state has five electors, based on voter registration, but only 60% of those voters cast their votes, then only three of those electors would get to cast their vote.  And their vote would be proportioned to the winning candidates.
