Our long-lived Electoral College system is better than any ever proposed to replace it. A small adjustment in it would make it as good as any simple system can be. A mathematical analysis rejects the conclusions of the American Bar Association and of the large majority of the Congress that voted to elect the president by simple national popular vote.
