Electoral college

Some candidates are proposing to eliminate the electoral college and that requires a constitutional amendment. To change the constitution requires that 2/3rds of the house and senate approve and then 3/4ths of the states approve. Since this change would benefit the democrat party and since the government is strongly divided this is not likely to happen. It is being discussed as a political hot button for the democratic base. It follows other issues like the new green deal, open borders, retribution for slavery, Medicare for all and wealth tax. As the election approaches these controversial positions will go by the way side especially during the general election.
