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

A decades-long plan to abolish the Electoral College may finally pay off

A Democratic wave in 2026 could deliver the key remaining states needed for a popular vote system, under this proposal

Vox

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.

Why this change will not fix American democracy?

#ElectoralCollege is a farce

2/ In the US, the smaller and poorer states hold disproportionately more power in the #Senate and #ElectoralCollege Which one is right? #democracy #elections #voters #power

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?
