The US Electoral College is an historical anachronism that was established back when the federal government did not trust its citizens to vote directly for their Senators or their President. Now we vote directly for our Senators, but we still elect our President through an antiquated, indirect process that distorts and complicates Presidential politics and violates basic democratic principles.
Compel the House Judiciary Committee to resurrect H.J.Res.9 originally proposed by congressman Gene Green of Texas during the 111th congressional period. It has been stuck in committee since 2009. Compel congress to bring this proposed amendment to the Constitution to a vote and/or reinstate it for consideration.
