John,

Our democracy is founded on a simple principle: one person, one vote. Yet for the nation’s largest electoral contest, the only one in which every American voter has a ballot to cast, we use an outdated system that places our power in just 538 individuals: the Electoral College.

The Electoral College is antithetical to a healthy democracy. It has ruled in opposition to the popular vote five times in our nation’s history, and twice in the past twenty years. 

That’s why Free Speech For People supports H.J. Res 7, the constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College and replace it with a national popular vote for President and Vice-President. In our democracy, it is vital that all citizens have an equal say in who occupies the White House.

Sign if you agree: It’s time to abolish the Electoral College and replace it with a national popular vote for President and Vice-President.

This Monday, the Electoral College will convene to declare the winner of the 2020 presidential election. Why do we insist on a second, more exclusive election to certify the results?

Show your support: Abolish the electoral college and establish a national popular vote for presidential elections.

In solidarity,

Free Speech For People
