RE MARYLAND MOVES AGAINST THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE TOWARD DIRECT DEMOCRACY

You know, I am not a big fan of either, really.
 
If you think of doing it in connection with the election the other day, think about this: he might well have gotten a national majority anyway. The fact that she got one is in some ways an accident.
 
Furthermore, a national majority, here, would hardly assure a 'better' candidate.
 
That has been the criticism of democracies since antiquity, really, and there was a direct democracy in antiquity, Athens.
