Half of American voters believe the system is broken. Democrats especially have no interest in fixing it.

Do you honestly believe Republicans would cross the aisle to help Democrats abolish the electoral system?

I assume you are talking about the Electoral College.  It would require a Constitutional amendment, passed by a two thirds majority of state legislatures.   So no, it's not going to happen.

The U.S. is a federal state.  Canada is similar and so is the E.U.   Individual states have, in effect, a  veto against altering the way the big things (like how presidents are selected) operate.

What is possible, is to reform voting regulations.  That's because they are there merely to enforce laws already on the books, such as that you must be an American citizen to vote or that you cannot vote twice.

I think you need to start with a uniform system of voting across all 50 states.

If you have concerns about mail in ballots, then fix what you think is wrong.

If you have concerns about voting machines, then switch to pen and paper (very difficult to hack).

And, most importantly, don't blindly accept every claim of voter fraud as true.  Investigate it.

These are the very suggestions that those of us who ask for tightening up of voting procedures have been talking about forever.

Why do I have to keep repeating myself?  We don't blindly accept every claim of voter fraud.  They all have to be investigated on a case-by-case basis.

I've only noticed people talking about this since mid 2020.

The electoral college, however, really has to go.

And if they are disproven, you will accept that?
