Anyone that truly takes their democracy seriously should be aggravated with the U.S. electoral college, a system that does not provide citizens with a direct vote on something as significant as the presidential election.
With the electoral college, there are multiple ways for an absurdly unfair presidential outcome to become a reality. In the worst of these scenarios, the winning candidate only needs to acquire about 23% of the popular vote to become president. This should concern everyone, regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum. The idea that we exist in a system where a minority of Americans can elect the President because of what state they happen to live in, is an obsolete and horrid idea.
The United States which has become a more advanced, more populated, and more influential nation that is in need of change. One change that needs to be made is a national popular vote for the presidential election. The popular vote, also known as a direct election, is a fair and appropriate method that would provide positive change throughout the nation.
MA Senator Elizabeth Warren is currently campaigning to have the United States end the electoral college and embrace the popular vote. She says, “We need to make sure that every vote counts… come a general election, presidential candidates don’t come to places like Mississippi… California and Massachusetts, right? Because we’re not the battleground states.” With the popular vote, presidential candidates would campaign for votes in every state, not just focus all their attention on a couple.
Additionally, many citizens believe that their vote does not matter, therefore they do not go to the polls. Once the popular vote method is adopted, the United States would experience an increase in voter participation because every vote counts.
Sign this petition if you believe that the United States should abolish the Electoral College, adopt the Popular Vote, and effectively become a more democratic nation.

If Trump wins the reelection, it will be the end of humanity, so we need to pass that vote, it’s only way to save lives!
EC is unfair, popular vote needs to be implemented. Its about time!!!!
According to the New York Post’s story, Hunter Biden in 2015 introduced his Father, then VP in the Obama Administration, to a Top Exec Vadym Pozharskyi at Ukrainian Burisma Holdings Ltd after Hunter joined the company’s board which was Paying him up to $83,000 a Month. The insinuation is that Hunter Successfully Influenced his Father to Pressure Ukraine Government officials “into Firing the Prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was Investigating Corruption against Burisma. Facebook and Twitter took action to limit distribution (censored) the New York Post story citing Emails purportedly Revealing Evidence of Influence-Peddling by Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden. The Emails were obtained from a Laptop which had a sticker from the Beau Biden Foundation, and had been Abandoned at Computer-Repair Shop, named “The Mac Shop” in Wilmington, Delaware and owned by John Paul Mac Isaac, who then reported the laptop’s contents to authorities which determined that the laptop and hard drive contain fruits of criminal activity. Joe Biden and his family engaged in "Legal Corruption" despite claims of no wrongdoing and the Liberal Main Stream Media Refuses to Talk and will never Report about Hunter Biden’s laptop and emails, fearing Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden will Lose the 2020 Election if this information is exposed to the American People. This is evidence that Joe Biden participated in his Family’s CASH-for-Influence Scheme with Shady Foreign Companies. The American People should be demanding that the Media investigate this scandal before they VOTE, but we know, the Media will never report on Hunter Biden’s emails because it would be harmful to Joe Biden.
Thank you for being here. Ever onward!

Democracy is 1 person = 1 vote. Giving some people's vote more weight than others is not democracy!
