1.) Electoral College is bias and fairer at the same time, you can say why the person who win more vote not get to be president, like a direct vote system in the commonwealth (Britain, Australia and so on) but America is based on a federation of states, and each states should have the same requirement to elect a president or head of state, that state parity is something direct voting system cannot provide, because smaller state is ALWAYS going to be behind simply because the population is less, say the population of Iowa is 1/12 of the state of California (3.1 million Iowan vs 39 million California) so if we uses direct vote, then candidate can and most likely will ignore or simply not campaign in Iowa and focus on populous states such as Texas, California or New York, the electoral college system balance that.
On Gerrymandering, yes, that is not a good practice, but then since this is practiced by both side of the isle, I guess that balance it out a bit.
2.) Supreme Court everywhere usually have life tenure, it's not just an American thing, and also the reason why we don't follow political preference, and it should be simply because we believe in the 3 pillars of the government should be separated. The Political Branch, the Legislative Branch and the Judiciary branch should all independent to each other, if supreme court judge reflect the vote for each party, then that party would have a immense domination of the country, which is a big no-no for us.
3.) I don't understand this point. The method of voting is the same between each state, you don't have one state have one way to vote and the other don't that was controlled by the FEC (Federal Election Commission) Vote counting is also the same across the state, the only difference is who can witness the count, but that largely the same because you usually have representation of both parties present in the count. The problem is NOT how the vote count, the problem is some bad loser losing an election and blame the vote counting as biased. Unless you really believe people dump vote by boxes like some lawsuit claim, the system, as both the FBI and FEC said, is fair and no abnormality were ever presented in any voting or counting center.
4.) Believe it or not, gun law is not the thing that you need to reform, mental health act is. A normal person will not decide to go shoot someone or a lot of people waking up one day just because he/she had access to gun. The problem is the people that uses firearms, not the firearms themselves. On the other hand, what can reform gun law do? Most people commit crime does not use their own registered firearms anyway, or if they do, they wouldn't care because the LE is going to know it was you if you use your own guns to commit crime.......
