No matter what you might feel about the Electoral College, no way this will change. In addition to two thirds vote in House of Representatives (unlikely), it will require two thirds vote in the Senate (impossible) and then three fourths of the state legislatures to approve it (impossible). It’s really sad that our politicians keep proposing things that have no chance of going anywhere. And the Republicans are just as guilty as the Democrats (border wall to be reimbursed by Mexico)
Silly moi, of course it takes 2/3 of the Senate. Thanks!
This was interesting:
"Almost half a century before Donald Trump became president, his victory was nearly undone.
It was a close thing: The House of Representatives easily passed a constitutional amendment
that would have eliminated the electoral college. The Senate was getting closer and closer,
just a few votes shy of the required two-thirds majority. Then the midterms came along, and
Senator Birch Bayh of Indiana, an auteur of constitutional amendments second only to James Madison,
was forced to shelve the proposal."

to be implemented. So far there are 172 EC votes from 12 states.
