John,
Donald Trump has upended our democratic norms, dismantled the guardrails meant to protect our democracy, and broken laws left and right.
And when Trump is out of office, we’ll need to work to restore and protect our democracy so that there is never another president this destructive. We also need a different GOP, that will not enable such lawlessness and will end it’s cult of personality around the president.
That’s why when Bill Maher on Friday asked Adam (in a socially distanced way!) how to strengthen our democracy and update the Constitution after Trump was gone, Adam answered clearly:
“I would favor doing away with the Electoral College system.”

This antiquated system of determining the winner of our presidential elections is as outdated as it is deeply flawed. Since 2000, two winners of the popular vote — both Democratic candidates — lost the presidential election due to the Electoral College. And Donald Trump’s chances at reelection depend on eeking out another Electoral College victory, while losing the popular vote by millions.
There’s something fundamentally wrong with the fact that a person who achieves less votes can go on to win and govern 330 million Americans.
There is a growing movement across the country to replace the Electoral College with a national popular vote. In the new system, the winner would be the one who gets the most votes.
It’s that simple: One person. One vote. Winner has the most votes. Period.
If you agree with Adam that we should get rid of the Electoral College in favor of a popular vote, add your name to show your support. [[link removed]]

Change like this won’t be easy, and won’t come overnight. But if we build enough public pressure for a national compact or constitutional amendment, we can come closer to a more perfect union.
