** stonewalling our movement!

House Leader Hakeem Jeffries asked the question, John, so we'll answer it: Why do we still have an Electoral College despite that it's given Americans the popular vote loser twice in the last five tries? Why do we still have an Electoral College despite that an overwhelming majority of Americans su…

Danger to America

John, we're going to keep this short and sweet. The Electoral College is a danger to our nation.   It disenfranchises millions of voters in every Presidential Election — and it suppresses voter turnout by up to 16% in non-Battleground ground states.   It's routinely abused by Republicans looking …
