The problems created by our presidential election system are intensifying:
- Outside of the small group of swing states, voters don’t matter to the presidential campaigns.
- The risk of a 2nd-place candidate winning has shifted from a “black swan” issue to a systemic one.
- We continue to ignore other major risks like another Florida-style recount, or an election getting “thrown to the House,” which could create a stalemate or give final say to a minority party in the House.
