I can see the Hillary vs. Jeb thing happening, even! LOL! It's a thinker!

As to the "not using the electoral system"...

I said above...the 12th amendment has been revised quite a bit since it came into being. Why couldn't we do away with it and make ALL votes count or give all states equal amounts of electorate votes?
