It May Now Be Possible To End The Electoral College


It has been the dream of many Americans to abolish the Electoral College and elect presidents by the popular vote. Robert Reich says that may now be possible. Here is what he has written:

The Democrats’ wins last week included the governor’s office and both statehouse chambers in at least five states: Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Arizona. Five additional “trifectas.”

These five states could now join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Participating states agree to give all their electoral votes to the presidential ticket that wins the national popular vote.

The agreement takes effect once it’s signed by states representing a majority of the Electoral College, or at least 270 electoral votes — the number needed to win the presidency. 


So far, 18 states and the District of Columbia have adopted the compact. They represent 222 electoral votes. If just four of the five states with new Democratic trifectas join the agreement, it would tip the group over the 270-vote threshold. 

Presto! The Electoral College will become irrelevant. 

If you live in Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, or Arizona: Please put this on your “to-do” list for January!
