Instead of redrawing districts every two years so states can counterpunch each other to gain seats, why not just get rid of the #ElectoralCollege and just enact a straight-up #PopularVote

Just end this dog and pony show and stop the cheating!

TO THE PEOPLE WHO RIDICULED ME for continuing to believe #OrangeHitler STOLE the 2024 #election via #VoterSuppression & tossing #AbsenteeBallots, famous #ElectionFraud documentarian #GregPalast HAS THE NUMBERS.

Trump Lost. Vote Suppression Won.

Here are the numbers...

Greg Palast
I suppose an optimistic view is the POTUS-elect didn’t win more than half of the #PopularVote nor did he surpass how many popular votes #Biden won when the first #Trump administration was still fresh in everyone’s minds. Here’s hoping Trump admin 2.0 has less drama…Already looking too optimistic!😅

#Trump got very close to a majority of the vote in this presidential #election, but not quite. It is not exactly the "unprecedented & powerful mandate" he claims.
This year's #PopularVote margin is the 2nd-closest since 1968 & still tightening. It shows…that any shift to the right is marginal.

#Republicans are likely to have the same or a slightly smaller #House majority as now, & there’s evidence that many Republicans voted for Trump but not for Republicans in #Senate.
