A) If you had the power to reform the Electoral College would you? If so, how?

Popular vote (NPV compact)?
Instant runoff?
Proportional allocation?
National Bonus Plan (would have been interesting in this election)?
Parallel vote?


B) Do you believe campaign finance laws need reform? Would you repeal Citizens United? If so, what measures would you put in place in its stead?

A) I don't think I'd change anything. I know the Electoral College is imperfect but until I see something that I feel is better I'd rather stay with what we have. That's just me though.

B) Hell Yes across the board, there's way too much money spent all the way around and there's absolutely zero accountability for spewing BS and total lies. If we could get the money out of it that might help but our whole electoral system is broken IMO and money and power, not the will of the people is their main goal. It's pretty hard to fix something that deeply rooted in the system.

OkHawk describes my feelings to a T. (1) Electoral college system is fine. (2) Dark money in politics has to go.
