.BernieSanders expresses his support for abolishing the Electoral College:
Clinton was the fifth candidate in U.S. history to lose the Electoral majority despite winning the popular vote, and the first since Al Gore’s loss to President-elect George W. Bush in 2000.
Lawmakers aren’t the only majority expressing their support for replacing the system. A Public Religion Research Institute from July 2018 found most Americans would prefer if presidential elections were drawn by the national popular vote rather than the electoral body.interstate compact, the constitutionally conservative bill calling for the popular vote to determine presidency and ensure “that every vote, in every state, will matter in every presidential election.” As of July 2019, the compact has been endorsed by 15 states and acquired 196 out of the 270 electoral votes needed to go into effect.
If enacted, the bill would mandate participating states to award their electoral votes to the candidate with the largest popular vote across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, but as of now, red-state support is looking pretty bleak.
