Amendment 33: Electoral College Voided
Section 1. Beginning with the first Presidential election held following the adoption of this amendment, the offices of President and Vice-President will be elected by popular vote. The electoral college system is abolished. Whichever Presidential candidate receives the most popular votes is deemed the winner, as is his/her Vice-Presidential running mate.
Commentary: The electoral college was a useful tool during our early history, a period when there was little formal education and even less media coverage of issues and news. That is no longer the case. People no longer need to choose someone to vote in their place. The electoral college is an obsolete method of selecting our President. It's time has long since passed!
