The presidential candidate with the most votes should become president. Logical. But Rs hate this because the current system gives them an advantage - the two this century who did not get the most votes but became presidents anyway, were Republicans. www.nationalpopularvote.com #electoralcollege
The #ElectoralCollege is a racist scam.
Virginia joined the National Popular Vote compact, and the Electoral College is sweating.
We’re at 222 votes. Just 48 more until "winning the most votes" is actually the strategy. Groundbreaking!

I applaud this effort. No more electoral college victories. One person, one vote!

A cartogram map of the United States where each state is sized according to the number of electoral votes. The states are colored as green, yellow, or gray. Text for the map: "The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has now been enacted by 19 jurisdictions possessing 222 of the 270 electoral votes needed to activate it. They are shown in green on the map below. Six additional states with 65 electoral votes (Arizona, Michigan, New Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) are especially promising places for obtaining the 48 electoral votes needed before 2028. They are yellow on the map."
Virginia becomes the 19th State to Enact National Popular Vote for President.

One thing we definitely need to do is to get rid of the #ElectoralCollege. Individuals who can be bought off should not be the ones who get to select the president.
I've been trying to think about WHY we are in the situation today that we are. I've come down to the Founding Fathers, the creation of the Electoral College and the 12th amendment. There's more... but I think it's time to retire the EC. #electoralcollege #12amendment #constitution #popularvote
Thanks to all who attended the LWVSFC-sponsored presentation on why the Electoral College should be abolished, and special thanks to presenter Anne Galer, our presenter. Missed it? Check out Anne's presentation at https://youtu.be/np2ZBAjkPXw

Lol no your vote doesn't matter. Trust me I live in a "Red State" and because of the #electoralcollege they side Republican every time
I would vote for her, but I do not think she would win.
I'm not the one you'd need to convince to vote for a Democrat.
It's the Independents and Moderate Republicans living in rural Pennsylvania, Arizona, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Maine, Ohio and Michigan.

It did give the district electors who could vote in the Electoral College, the smaller group that actually elects the U.S. President, but the district can never have more electors than the least-populous state.

On this day in 1961, the 23rd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified. It gave residents of Washington, D.C. the right to vote for President.

I could imagine possibly an agreement in which the limit was changed to 3 terms, but with a direct system abolishing the #ElectoralCollege.
Would mean he could end up facing #BillClinton, #Dubya or #BarackObama.
#GreenPartyUS 🇺🇸💚 has0️⃣chance of winning a presidential election; even #BernieSanders (who's Great) couldn't win the Democratic primary against #HillaryClinton (who's part good & part Terrible) or #JoeBiden (who's usually pretty good) bc of the #ElectoralCollege & the stupidity of Most Democrats.🙄😡😭🤬
the problem is🇺🇸USA: #ElectoralCollege & most Americans are either & or: dumb selfish greedy ignorant gullible fools🤡🃏Republicans only help Millionaires & moreso BILLIONAIRES🤑 Corporate Democrats are similar but No where near as Bad. Progressive Democrats are Great‼️like Green💚Party🇺🇸who has0️⃣chance >>>

Kamala Harris says the presidential race was far tighter than the final map might suggest.

Not enough of us #election2024 #electoralcollege
The ONLY reason the US still has the archaic #electoralcollege as the means of voting for the President, is because of #racism.
▪︎ Created to mitigate the voting impact of former slaves
▪︎ Continued to mitigate the voting impact of political opponents
▪︎ As the Brits would say, "Not cricket."
#ElectoralCollege
They don’t understand it’s a numbers’ game; seems too cold and impersonal but that’s our #government by #electoralcollege.
Cheaters....so sick of #Republicans and their shit all over this country which is why we need to #VoteBlue that damn #ElectoralCollege should be abolished and the #Majority should win....whoever gets the most votes. #Democrats have won the majority over time; but somehow we end up as minorities.
Until the 🔴💀🔴 #NaziParty 's & #CorporateParty 's septic #duopoly is broken the above will never happen.
#AmeriKKKuh 's political system - unlike the #parliamentary systems of most of the world - is specifically set up to disenfranchise most of the population.
See the #Senate & #ElectoralCollege.
