College Dropouts

Now that they've lost, Democrats want to get rid of the Electoral College:

The bill, introduced just over a month after Donald Trump won the presidential election, was proposed by three progressive Senators, namely Brian Schatz of Hawaii, Dick Durbin of Illinois and Peter Welch of Vermont. The trio said removing the Electoral College in favor of the popular vote would “restore democracy,” with Sen. Schatz claiming the current system is “outdated and undemocratic.” Durbin, meanwhile, said the bill echoed a pre-2000 to abolish the Electoral College, adding that it was “time to retire this 18th century invention.” The United States was also an “18th century invention,” mind you. Sen. Welch also waded in. He said: “Our democracy is at its strongest when everyone’s voice is heard – and right now our elections aren’t as representative as they should be because of the outdated and flawed Electoral College.” The popular vote has largely favored Democrats in recent years. Prior to Trump’s victory in November, George W. Bush was the only Republican in the 21st century to win the popular vote (in 2004).
