Hard no. States with large city populations would have more power than states with more rural areas. Our rural areas and farmers are just as important as our urban centers. People frequently don’t fully understand the issues facing people in different circumstances. The electoral college helps maintain equal representation on a federal level. Discontinuing the electoral college seems like as bad of an idea as the legislature ceding power to the executive branch because Congress couldn’t pass what they wanted passed. Each party has done it while their guy was in office. Now we’re stuck with an unbalanced triangle of power.
