Strongly agree

No

Social conservatives often argue that the electoral college is an essential part of the American political system, as it ensures that smaller states and rural areas have a voice in the election process. They believe that without the electoral college, candidates would focus solely on densely populated urban areas, which tend to lean liberal, and ignore the concerns of rural, conservative voters.

No, but the balance of votes by population should be updated

While social conservatives generally support the electoral college, they may be open to updating the balance of votes by population to ensure that the system remains fair and representative. However, they would likely be cautious about any changes that could weaken the influence of rural, conservative areas in the electoral process.

No, but reform so that votes are distributed proportionally instead of the current winner take all system

Some social conservatives may be open to reforming the electoral college so that votes are distributed proportionally instead of the current winner-take-all system. This could potentially make the system more fair and representative, while still maintaining the balance of power between urban and rural areas. However, others may be concerned that such a change could weaken the influence of conservative voters.

Disagree

Yes, and switch to a ranked voting system

While a ranked voting system might appeal to some social conservatives as a way to ensure that all voters' preferences are taken into account, many would likely be concerned that abolishing the electoral college in favor of such a system could lead to the marginalization of rural, conservative voters. They may also be wary of any changes that could disrupt the balance of power between urban and rural areas.
