I would only find electing a President by popular vote acceptable if it required winning the election by more than 50% of the eligible voters in each and every State.
I would however support a Constitutional amendment requiring each States EV be applied to the candidate winning the most votes, and eliminating the Electoral college completely, requiring a runoff election between the top two candidates in the case of a tied election.
Ideally, IMO, all politics within the U.S.A. should be more State and local, with Federal laws written/defined clearly and concisely yet broadly enough to allow leeway for States to comply with variation.
Repealing the 16th and 17th amendments, also IMO, would begin to allow people to retake control of government by exercising democracy within the limits they allow their Representatives in Congress to be exercised upon our Constitutional Republic.
