Gerrymandering- absolutely. Getting rid of the EC, maybe not? How about a change, instead of an all out abolition?

Ya, I can see that.

But I just disagree. And that’s totally fine. I don’t run this account to try to change people’s minds, just provide a different perspective and opinion.

I agree that the EC disenfranchises many voters, but I worry that a popular vote would just disadvantage a different group.

I agree with 75% of what you said. That’s a pretty good ratio.

TLDR
The EC is good for a couple of reasons:
1. The body choosing the president is separate from other branches of government
2. The electors will be more informed than the average person (which can be argued as still true today)
3. With a decentralized system, there's less/no room for corruption

Plus, unless the bill is a proposed constitutional amendment, the bill will do nothing.

No, not really. Check out my most recent post about faithless electors.

And it’s hard, because the president is the only elected official who represents the whole of the US in its entirety. They must then represent the US in its entirety. Is the role of president best served by conducting a popular vote, or better served by splitting the power amongst the states?

It’s for sure a trade off, and it all comes down to your definition of democratic. I respect people who believe “one person=one vote” is the most democratic way of voting. I, personally, just don’t see it that way.

A voter in Wyoming has a “stronger” vote than someone in California because of the 2 electors each state gets, regardless of the size. Because of this, Wyoming swings slightly above their weight class. I think this is more democratic because otherwise the voter in Wyoming might be entirely ignored.
