I think popular vote is clearly the fairest way. Maine recently implemented ranked-choice voting, which, in my opinion, is tantamount to giving each voter more than 1 vote, which again, is bunk.

Which ends up happening anyways, that's why they campaign and tour hardcore in battleground states and **** the rest of the states that aren't on their radar.
