Hello,

The Washington Post's Marc A. Thiessen noted that Donald Trump came very close to winning his re-election, writing that "a flip of just some 73,700 votes in three states [Arizona, Pennsylvania and Georgia]" could have given Trump his second term. Now that we've done a couple recounts and the voting totals have been determined, that number is actually just over 100,000 votes, but Thiessen's point still stands.

If you aren't alarmed by the fact that Trump won in 2016 despite losing the popular vote by 3 million votes -- and that he then came close to winning again, even though he had 7 million fewer votes than Joe Biden nationwide -- then you should be.

There's no real reason that, in a supposed representative democracy, we had to wait those awful days after November 3 in electoral purgatory for the votes of a few states to determine our future. What's more, with Georgia flipping blue this election, we've seen that strategic voter suppression laws and decreased access to voting are what have made many states red in the past, not the will of American voters.

We need to change this system. As The Washington Post has clearly stated, the Electoral College system "is no longer tenable for American democracy."

While there are challenges to adopting any new system, it's time the majority of Americans have a say in choosing their next president -- rather than all our presidential races being decided by 10,000 people in Wisconsin, or 5,000 people in Florida. Do you agree? With such a historic precedent in place, we'll need to rally support for reform. Please, tell us now:
