"I think our president should be chosen by the majority of the American people."

When asked "Why do you think we should abolish the Electoral College?" in an interview, Bayh responds:

A: "I think our president should be chosen by the majority of the American people. That is ordinarily the case. But in 2000, as we all recall, we elected this president with fewer votes than the other candidate got. I just don't think in the modern era that is appropriate."
