Does America's system of elections (including campaigns, campaign finance, voting rules, and voter turnout) serve our democratic-republic ideals of people having a say in choosing their leaders and having those leaders serve public interests? Does the Electoral College serve this purpose, or should it be abolished in favor of a different method of electing the US President?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

I think that America's system of elections (including campaigns, campaign finance, voting rules, and voter turnout) serves our democratic-republic ideals of people having a say in choosing their leaders and having those leaders serve public interests but there have been many distortions in recent years that are so notorious in the present time.

To put it in simple terms, politicians do not serve the people. Unfortunately, most of them serve private interests, personal agendas, and corporations. Political groups invest a lot of many to hire lobbyists to negotiate with legislators to put their political and economic interests first.

I consider that the Electoral College served this purpose but not anymore It should be abolished in favor of a different method of electing the US President, and this method is to trust in the popular vote, as happens in other world democracies. The candidate who gets the most votes wins. As simple and clear like that.

architecture i think.

i hope this !
