There was tremendous amount of disarray in the last presidential election. A lot of that is caused by the fact that the fact that the popular vote does not always win the election. Electoral votes do, which is similar to a “winner-take-all” system. It simply doesn’t make sense any more. In fact, the message it sends to people who live in a red or blue state is that if they are a minority voter, their vote simply doesn’t count. We should use a system like Nebraska and Maine use, where the votes are, in part, apportioned based on the popular vote. Soon, Colorado will vote on whether the “winner take all system”, used in 48 states, would be replaced by proportional voting. Clark says that it makes sense to use a popular vote, which gets the nation back to a more realistic count and gets past the second-guessing and animosity created in most elections. Such a revision of the voting laws would actually be healing for the nation.
