		_wwz4 on Aug 21, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: 15 states are trying to make the electoral college... The states agreed to the Constitution with the Electoral College provision. If there's national will to change it, it should be through the amendment process described in the Constitution.

What is the authority of a President chosen through subversion of the Constitution?

Constitution does not specify how states should implement EC. In fact, Maine and Nebraska do not use winner-take-all used by other states.
