Abolish the Electoral College for election to the Presidency and instate a direct popular vote.

Created by P.C. on February 04, 2013

A petition to remove the electoral college as a means of electing the Federal executive branch and replace it with a direct popular vote that is used to elect senators, house representatives, governors, etc.

The electoral college allows the election of politicians who fail to garner a majority of votes and is prone to political manipulation at the state level.

By instating a direct popular vote of the President, political machinations such as gerrymandering used to disenfranchise the people are no longer possible.
