Plan to Abolish Electoral College Gets Closer to Reality
(Or just increase the size of the Congress)
“The #ElectoralCollege — our nation’s bizarre system that hands a few narrowly-divided states the privilege to choose our presidents — has been entrenched for two centuries,” Vox reports. “But a long-game effort from reformers, which has played out quietly in blue states across the country over the past 20 years, has gotten it surprisingly close to toppling.” “And a blue wave in the 2026 midterms could finish the job.”

There are many problems with #USA #democracy
Like the stupid #ElectoralCollege
Gore beat Bush in 2000, Clinton beat Trump in 2016. In the popular vote. The EC erased it
Well here's another reason for you to #vote in the #primaries and the general #election:
The #Democrats, if they win enough in November, can kill the EC
It's been a 20 year effort of states agreeing to void the EC if enough agree: the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

I missed the news that #Virginia recently joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact meaning that only 48 electoral votes are needed in order to make the #ElectoralCollege irrelevant.

In case folks are not aware of the interesting contrast about two #democracies - #US Vs #India : a constitutional amendment proposed in India seeks to expand the legislature and ensure population-based representation. And the southern states (smaller population but wealthier) to oppose it as unfair. In the US, the smaller and poorer states hold disproportionately more power in the #Senate and #ElectoralCollege
Which one is right?

Virginia becomes the 19th state to enact National Popular Vote for President.
The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has now been enacted by 19 jurisdictions possessing 222 of the 270 electoral votes needed to activate it.

If you support the #electoralcollege, you either oppose #democracy or you are ignorant of how elections work. There really isn't a third option.

Abolishing the Electoral College
Many Medium political writers blame the Electoral College for the mess the USA is in.
Even if this change is made (a decade or two from now), it won't change much:

Abolishing the Electoral College
Many Americans believe replacing the electoral college with popular vote to elect the US president will make American democracy better.

You, @peachfront, wrote: "replacing a Constitution written for plantation owners by plantation owners is the path, the Electoral College has to go."
Your wishing will not make the Electoral College disappear. The only way to eliminate the #ElectoralCollege is with the passage of a Constitutional Amendment. That will never happen because it cannot be passed without the approval by states that would be agreeing to reduce the political power of their citizens. They will never voluntarily do that.

In den #USA haben #Calvinismus und #Sozialdarwinismus Tradition. Durch die Machtposition von Richtern, durch die Übernahme des Britischen Rechtskreises mit seinem #CommonLaw und ihren #WinnerTakesItAll Regeln im Wahlrecht, (#ElectoralCollege), wird deutlich, dass das amerikanische Demokratieverständnis aristokratisch orientiert ist. Das ist nicht neu. Das war so, als die Indianer weichen mussten, zur Zeit der Eisenbahn-Tycoone, der Sklaverei - nur nicht z.Z. des kalten Krieges.

340 Mio people in the US
245 Mio eligible to Vote
155 Mio people voted in 2024
_77 Mio voted for TrumpOf these 77 Mio people many have serious buyers remorse, Some polls claim 60% were ok Trump policies pre Trump tariffs.
46 Mio MAGA people
My guess is this number is down to somewhere 20-30 Mio hard core MAGA.Trump support is somewhere between 6 and 16% of the US population.

Think You Really Vote For President? Think Again. ‘Independent Lens’ Documentary Reveals Electoral College Truth

The latest #PresidentialElection news: #convictedFelon #DonaldTrump has 312 votes in #antiquated #electoralCollege, meaning there's slightly more disappointing #Americans than were known a few days ago.
Also troubling are the 2,355,404 votes (1.6%) who voted for #JillStein, #RobertKennedy, #ChaseOliver, & other candidates. Sure, their votes wouldn't make #KamalaHarris' popular vote higher than #AnnoyingOrange's, but maybe it would've improved her electoral college numbers.
