John, did you know that 65% of Americans favor abolishing the Electoral College in favor of a popular vote system?
It’s true — and we couldn’t agree more. In recent decades, it’s become increasingly obvious that the Electoral College system no longer aligns with the democratic principles upon which our nation was founded. It no longer accurately reflects the will of the people — so it’s past time that we adopt a more equitable, representative, and accurate electoral process.
Are you part of that 65% of Americans in favor of abolishing the Electoral College and implementing a fairer system? If so, sign our petition now! [[link removed]]

There are countless reasons why we’re calling for the abolition of the Electoral College, but here are some of the most compelling ones:
1.
It
undermines
the
"One
Person,
One
Vote"
principle:
The
Electoral
College
can
pick
a
President
who
didn’t
win
the
popular
vote
—
we’re
all
too
familiar
with
this.
Donald
Trump
and
George
W.
Bush,
in
2016
and
2000
respectively,
won
the
presidency
despite
losing
the
popular
vote.
It’s
long
been
clear
that
the
Electoral
College
and
the
will
of
the
American
people
are
misaligned.
2.
It
places
disproportionate
influence
on
swing
states:
Our
current
system
allows
swing
states
much
more
influence
than
solidly
red
or
blue
states,
which
marginalizes
millions
of
voters.
3.
It
discourages
voter
turnout
and
leads
to
public
distrust
in
the
government:
In
solidly
red
or
blue
states,
many
voters
feel
their
votes
won’t
make
a
difference,
which
leads
to
lower
turnout.
We’re
confident
that
a
direct
popular
vote
would
encourage
higher
participation
and
enthusiasm.
Voters
would
feel
more
confident
knowing
each
vote
is
counted
equally.
We’re calling on Congress to propose and pass a constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College. [[link removed]]
