But it is one of the issues brought up most frequently in this kind of discussion.

I would think having ranked voting and proportional representation would help the situation. And if we _did_ keep the EC, I wonder if ranked voting would help there too? Well, probably not.

The real trouble is that the framers had no idea how freaking huge this country would become. Yes, we travel faster now, but there are still only so many hours per day where candidates can speak and glad-hand and all that. Not sure what the answer is. We have the technology for satellite uplinks so that we can have "town hall meetings" nationwide all at the same time...but I suppose some folks would be distraught that it seems too "impersonal".
