I think we ought to trash the Electoral College entirely, and replace it
with the winner of the popular vote winning the election.

Sounds like Harry is smarter than the framers of the constitution, who
believed it was important for the large states not to completely overpower
the will of the smaller states. The EC was a way to make sure all voters
both in the populated areas and the rural areas would be heard. But if
Harry really wants to make a change in the US Constitution you would think
he would be smart enough to know posting his preferences in rec.boats is not
an effective way to get a constitutional amendment ratified.
