Unpopular opinions you hold

[Kingswood]

Some more potentially unpopular opinions:

The American political system is rife with corruption and desperately needs major reform. (examples: Florida ballots, secret lobbying, getting laws passed in exchange for generous "campaign contributions", allowing political parties to set electoral boundaries, etc.)

The USA would be better off with a politically independent national electoral agency that had the power to regulate everything to do with elections such as electoral boundaries, voter registration, and the way voting is performed.

The electoral college is flawed as well. I cannot understand the point of a system that denies a large minority of voters in each state a say in who becomes president. If a state elects seven members, and 55% of voters vote one way and 45% vote another, then the majority should have 4 votes and the minority 3. Or, better still, just have the President decided by first-past-the-post like they do in many other countries. This isn't the 1770's, when messages took days to cross the USA. The founding fathers of the USA could not imagine the technology we have today, such as computers that can easily tabulate 250 million votes and communication networks that can transmit the electoral will of millions across the USA at the blink of an eye. So why not modernize the electoral process?
