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.

If it were the Democrats who currently benefited from the Electoral College, you would be singing the praises of the wisdom of the Founding Fathers. 🤣

Rhapsodically. 🤣 🤣 🤣

@Thinkerbell No.....but tell me how many Republicans who became President, won the popular vote.

I voiced opposition to the EC when in HS Gov class in '69.
