Why is the direct popular vote the most widely supported plan for reform of the electoral college?

If it really is the most widely supported plan, it is probably because it is the easiest to understand and explain. Direct popular vote is the simplest possible way to hold an election. Unfortunately, it has many drawbacks which is why it is not used to elect the US president.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
