Hello,
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 came close to winning again, even though he had 7 million fewer votes than Joe Biden -- then you should be.
We need to change this system. “The obvious answer is a national popular vote for president, whether through constitutional amendment or a state-by-state agreement,” a Washington Post op-ed explains, “... but both will require Republican buy-in.” And that won’t be so easy to get, considering how much the right relies on the status quo.
“The status quo may endanger democracy, but it helps Republicans politically,” the WaPo op-ed reads. “And in the Grand Old Party, the party is what matters -- more than the country.”
Are you resigned to settle for the status quo? With such a historic precedent in place, we’ll need to rally support in a BIG way if we want to reform our system. Please, tell us now:
Would you support a national popular vote?
Thank you for providing your critical input,
