John,   With every day that passes, Senator Sanders' warning rings truer.  American Presidential Elections are fundamentally flawed — and it's getting worse.  According to the UVA Center for Politics, the 2024 Presidential Election is set to be decided in a tiny handful of battleground states. Po…

*critical mass* in favor of ending the EC

John — Polls show that an overwhelming number of Americans are in favor of eliminating the Electoral College and electing our Presidents by National Popular Vote. And in 2023 alone, states like Nevada, Maine, and Michigan have all taken steps toward joining the National Popular Vote Interstate C…

John, it's not even close.   According to a brand new survey by the Pew Research Center, 65% of all Americans support our movement to END the Electoral College.  John, the time has come. We're putting pressure on state-level Republicans who are stonewalling our efforts in the statehouses of batt…

There is still time to avert disaster, John. But only if we get ahead of this, now.  John, it's the truth. The Electoral College is the greatest continuing threat to the future of our Democracy.  And, although we've continued to make incredible progress — Minnesota has joined the National Popu…

Mike Johnson — an Electoral College THREAT

John, we're going to be blunt.  Republican Mike Johnson being House Speaker is a direct threat to Democracy.   Johnson not only spearheaded efforts to overturn the 2020 election — he's now 2nd in line to the Presidency. And he's going to be in charge of certifying the 2024 Presidential results.  …

Archaic, undemocratic, and ripe for abuse

John, it is as clear as day:  The problem with the Electoral College is not that Donald Trump tried — and nearly succeeded — to abuse its mechanisms to illegally remain in power. The problem is the system itself.  It is archaic, and undemocratic, and it remains ripe for abuse by unscrupulous acto…
