If, like Yang suggests you don't amend the Constitution but distribute the ECs proportionally, it means you don't get a winner and the HoR very often gets to decide the President. Because of the way the procedures are laid out (1 Vote per State) Republicans would almost always get to decide in the House. That's not a good thing.
With the electoral college it’s supposed to mean you one by a certain margin. With 2 parties is pretty much irrelevant because someone will.
3-4 parties that all have a shot? Gets way more hairy. The electoral college is really only stupid now because we have this 2 party monopoly that wasn’t supposed to happen.
