In 2000, Al Gore won the majority of popular votes for president in the United States. But George W. Bush was elected president.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the majority of popular votes for president in the United States. But Donald Trump was elected president.
Why? Because of the Electoral College.
After the 2020 general election, Trump electors submitted FRAUDULENT electoral votes in Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada.
In the 2012, 2016, and 2020 presidential campaigns, 12 states received virtually all of the campaign events and candidates' attention. The other 38 states were ignored by the candidates.
Why? Because of the winner-takes-all Electoral College.
The National Popular Vote has a wealth of information and forms you can use to email your legislators and write editorials to newspapers, and videos to share on social media.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Two of the worse mistakes in the history of this country were having seperate states. One country one set of laws and the Electoral College. The "great experiment" is not doing so well.

People don't seem to get that we're actually a lot more like the European Union than we are one country.
I used the link to send emails to my legislators but I fear this will never change until a party with some backbone has a stronger presence than the Republicans, who will never allow this.

Thanks, Lauren. It does have some bipartisan support. John Kerry was close to defeating Bush in 2004 only because of the Electoral College skew; while Bush had a clear lead in popular votes.
