Better Way To Choose The President Agitation for altering U S voting method grows
A poll of political science teachers, conducted by Sen Estes Kefauver in Tennessee, shows 230 support changing the presidential election system and 24 against. The leading option is proportional electoral votes at 47 percent, with direct popular election at 34 percent. A minority favored two electors per state at large, with others chosen by districts, risking minority control. The proposal aims to abolish presidential electors so states receive one automatic vote, preventing elector defections. A recent Oklahoma elector testimony cited a plot to overturn Kennedy and Nixon in favor of an unlikely candidate, underscoring dangers of the current system.
