I certainly believe that we wouldn't have problems if we didn't have the Electoral College. The fact is getting rid of the Electoral College and making more democratic reforms is very very unlikely, given how hard is to amend the Constitution. I know people think the January 6th hearings are important (they are), but will it truly move the needle? Reforming the Electoral Count Act is very important, but that may not be enough. I'm not sure if we can do enough to prevent another January 6th from happening, what matters is what conservatives/Republican voters decide to do.
Hi Elliott,

I hope you are well,
