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.

California and Texas are not really the problem. It's Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota and Idaho.

CA and TX get electoral voters roughly proportional to their population, but the latter get more and it's winner takes all.

The Senate is there for a good reason. The real issue is that we have a guy who figured out where all the loopholes are, and he's exploiting them to replace our system with a an authoritarian regime. But we still have an opportunity to foil his plan and plug the holes, so let's make sure we vote come November.
