MSNBC: Jamie Raskin thinks the Electoral College threatens democracy. He's right. [[link removed]]
Congressman Jamie Raskin knows the score, John. Here's what he had to say:
“ I think that the Electoral College now, which has given us five popular vote losers as president in our history, twice in this century alone, has become a danger not just to democracy, but to the American people . It was a danger on January 6th. There are so many curving byways and nooks and crannies in the Electoral College that there are opportunities for a lot of strategic mischief. ”
The Electoral College isn’t just a vestige of the past; it is a ticking time bomb for exploitation in our democratic system. Congressman Raskin knows this, which is why he wanted the Jan. 6th Committee to propose getting rid of it. They didn't all agree, so it didn't make their list of final recommendations to Congress.
"Strategic mischief" is just the beginning of what the vote suppressors will do in order to win. We have to remove this danger once and for all -- chip in $5, $15, $20, $35 or more to help us end the Electoral College >> [[link removed]]

We don’t have to wait for Congress to act, either. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is an agreement among a group of U.S. states and the District of Columbia to award all their electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the overall popular vote in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
16 states plus DC have already joined, accounting for 206 electoral votes and 76% of the states needed to essentially make the popular vote the law of the land. Maine is moving a bill through their state legislature to join right now.
Help put us over the top in the other states we need to join to end the Electoral College forever with $35 or more today! >> [[link removed]]

Integrity First Voter Action Project is dedicated to expanding ballot access and increasing voter participation across the country.
Since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act, extreme politicians have taken advantage to pass harsh laws that restrict access to the ballot box. These restrictions particularly affect disadvantaged communities and people of color. It’s our goal to bring awareness to these laws wherever they may crop up and organize voters to take action to ensure the right to vote is available to everyone in their states and communities.
