I guess you haven't read the Constitution, it says little about how the Electors are chosen. That honor goes to the States.How about we go back to choosing the president and vp the way the constitution says to?
You will also notice there is nothing in the constitution authorizing political parties at all, so the primaries really are not legal.
We really should NOT allow the 2 party system, where these private parties force a winner take all approach.
It is primaries that double the expense and make independents more difficult to have a chance.
If we instead went to a single election without primaries, and then ranked our voting order, you could get all parties represented much better, and avoid costly run offs.
The two party system have long ago election passed laws making it much harder for secondary parties gain much traction. It is why they rarely matter much to a national election.
