The EC is a National Security Threat?

John — We're going to keep this simple and straightforward:   The Electoral College is the primary tool Republicans use to swing national elections and suppress the will of the people. That's why Donald Trump's latest indictment for attempting to subvert the 2020 election is so troubling.  Not be…

John — we want to pull back the curtain and show you where this movement really stands, today.   Our momentum has been surging — Minnesota finally passed legislation to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, and Michigan is well on its way to doing the same. AND, legislation is pendin…

a danger to our nation

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 …
