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.
