Há quase 10 anos, mais exatamente em 19-12-2016, o Conselho Editorial do NYTimes manifestou-se pela mudança das regras eleitorais dos EUA, nos seguintes termos:

Time to End the Electoral College
(..) And so for the second time in 16 years, the candidate who lost the popular vote has won the presidency. Unlike 2000, it wasn’t even close. Hillary Clinton beat Mr. Trump by more than 2.8 million votes, or 2.1 percent of the electorate. That’s a wider margin than 10 winning candidates enjoyed and the biggest deficit for an incoming president since the 19th century.

Yes, Mr. Trump won under the rules, but the rules should change so that a presidential election reflects the will of Americans and promotes a more participatory democracy. (..)

Mudou? Não. Deu no que deu. E vai piorar. Apertem os cintos.
