Senate Democrats Propose Abolishing Electoral College for Direct Popular Vote Election
Dec 16, 2024, 07:56 PM
A group of Senate Democrats has introduced legislation to abolish the Electoral College, advocating for the direct election of the president through a popular vote system. The bill, announced by the Senate Judiciary Committee, aims to 'restore democracy' by ensuring that the candidate with the most votes nationwide wins the presidency. Senators Schatz, Welch, and Durbin have voiced support for the bill, arguing that the current system is outdated and disenfranchises millions of Americans. This move comes after Donald Trump won both the popular vote and the Electoral College in the recent election, highlighting the Democrats' ongoing efforts to change the electoral process.
