Elect President via Popular Vote.

Democracy is 1 person, 1 vote.
State officials are elected via popular vote.
Why not POTUS?
The Electoral College is anti-democracy.

As of August 2025, 189.5 million Americans are registered to vote. That’s almost eight in 10 Americans who are 18 or older.

Among states reporting 2025 voter registration data, California has the most registered voters, 22.9 million, followed by Texas (18.3 million) and Florida (13.5 million). These states also rank highest in overall populations.

So, 22.9 CA+ 18.3 TX+ 13.5 FL = 55.7 million voters.

189.5 (Total registered) - 55.7 (CA, FL, TX) = 133.8 million voters.

So the thought that CA, TX, and NY alone can decide a presidential election is total BS.

The fact that several swing states can decide the presidential is total BS.

Yes, the US is not a democracy, it's a republic.....and that's the problem.

@sunsporter1649 In an election where the popular vote decides the winner, every vote is valuable and in fact, would result in more participation in voting.

The EC results in voter apathy.

What part of representation in electing the President via popular vote are you failing to grasp?

@JSul3 Why not just let the 5 states with the most people, including the 25,000,000 illegal aliens, vote, makes as much sense as anything you have proposed. Or perhaps mail out ballots to the population of the world so they have a say what the future of the country would be
