National Popular Vote [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

SUBJECT: Please support national popular vote for president

I think that the electoral college, as it stands now, is an outdated system. There is no reason we shouldn’t be electing our Presidents by a nationwide popular vote. The candidate with the most votes in the entire USA should win. I voted against two losers, George W Bush and Donald Trump, that won the electoral college and became president of the United States of Amaerica but lost the popular vote. Otherwise, Al Gore would have won against George W and Hilary Clinton lost to trump. I believe that the majority should win. One vote for each of us. There is an organization, National Popular Vote that can help us win the popular vote. Each state has to sign up.

The National Popular Vote bill has been enacted by 17 jurisdictions possessing 205 electoral votes, including 4 small states (DE, HI, RI, VT), 9 medium-sized states (CO, CT, MD, MA, MN, NJ, NM, OR, WA), 3 big states (CA, IL, NY), and the District of Columbia. The bill will take effect when enacted by states with 65 more electoral votes. The bill has passed at least one chamber in 8 additional states with 78 more electoral votes (AR, AZ, ME, MI, NC, NV, OK, VA). A total of 3,705 state legislators from all 50 states have endorsed it.

Please edit my letter as needed. I got some of my information from www.nationalpopularvote.com.

I am an 85 year old first generation American. My parents came from Russia. I do not want the debacle that happened in 2016 to 2020.



Yours truly,

Myra Baum
