As the 2024 US elections approach, many Americans, including residents of key swing states, are questioning the fairness of the Electoral College. Critics argue that the system, established over 237 years ago, disproportionately favors rural voters and undermines the principle of one-person, one-vote. Political scientist Robert Alexander highlights that the ‘winner-takes-all’ approach exacerbates this issue, concentrating campaign efforts only in a few pivotal states. Despite growing calls for reform, significant changes to the Electoral College face formidable political obstacles, leaving many to wonder about the future of American democracy.
