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.

Doing away with the electoral college will allow CA NY and TX decide for the whole country. That will never work

@missyann BS.
That's just not true.

Take every voter in CA, NY, FL, and Texas ....there are still more registered voters in the remaining 46 states.

Every vote will mean something.

With the EC many people believe their vote means zilch....and therefore voter apathy takes over.

Texas leads the nation in voter apathy.
