It's a huge complaint when it confronts people who didn't learn how the system works in civics class, I guess, but it's been the way that presidential voting has worked since before we were all born, so the outcry is sort of annoying at best.

Also, as the only groups legally able to propose a change to this system are right now benefiting from it, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Why is outcry annoying just because it's about something old? And why do you assume people complaining about it are ignorant?

Sure, I don't think that it'll ever change. But that doesn't mean people can't complain.
