This could all be eliminated if all current elected offices were instead won in a trial by combat.

The whole point of electors, and the senate, is keep the populous states from pushing around the sparse ones.

He still would have lost once since there'd be no 2020 re-election run

Yet it gives the less populous states undue power, and undermines the very notion of 'democracy'

There is no constitutional mandate for a popular vote for president.
The states just did that.

Yes, it's almost like the way our Government was designed protected the interests of the aristocratic and wealthy class rather than the masses. We should be trying to undo that, not further entrench it.

There are some problems with that especially in combo with FPTP districts, but it's closer to being representative of popular opinion.

It was based on two simple premises:
  1. The states legislatures choose the electors, who choose the president.
  2. The president isn't actually very important.
