    Decentralization isn’t always better, it’s not as efficient and, in this case, it makes it so people’s ability to choose their president varies by state and in red states there’s scheming to prevent the Democrats from gaining ground.

    With an independent body and equal access to voting for all, Trump wouldn’t have been elected in the first place.

    You say it’s harder to undermine but it’s getting undermined while we don’t have issues like we see in the USA right next door in Canada.

      The problem here isn’t efficiency though. Inefficiency I think is a reasonable trade off to make to prevent corruption at scale.
