Opinion piece on the brokenness of the #ElectoralCollege. I think this one strikes the right balance between hope and cynicism.

Littwin: This one may really be the most important election of your lifetime. Too bad your vote doesn’t count.

You can probably remember when Colorado was a swing state and candidates came seeking our votes. That was then. This is now.

The End of the Electoral College Is Finally in Sight

The dumbest institution in the democratic world might not have long to live.

Newsweek

Thanks to Maine for joining the National Popular Vote Compact. When we get the NPV adopted, votes from large states will have the same power as those from small states, there will be no more swing states, and candidates will campaign in all states. The Electoral College will be irrelevant.

This can happen by 2028.

If you’re in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Virginia, we need you. Get to work.

Als je ziek bent, wil je het liefst in je eigen vertrouwde omgeving blijven: er gaat niets boven de liefdevolle verzorging, aandacht en nabijheid van familie en mantelzorgers. Maar deze zorg is vaak intensief. Mantelzorgers kunnen steun krijgen van deskundige vrijwilligers van de Nederlandse Patiënten Vereniging (NPV).

If we could vote for president by popular vote rather than the electoral college, we would eliminate focus on swing states, candidates would campaign in every state, campaign funding would carry less weight because, my vote would matter, and the candidate with the most votes would be pres. it would be spread further. What else?
