We the people ask the federal government to Call on Congress to act on an issue:

Abolish the Electoral College for future presidential elections.

Created by A.T. on November 10, 2016

The electoral college gets in the way of true democracy. In future presidential election, presidents should be chosen through the popular vote. Having a candidate take all votes in the state is unfair for other candidates. Why would someone vote Democrat in a red state, or Republican in a blue state, when it most likely will mean nothing? It's like a drop of oil in an ocean, it won't mean anything in the grand scheme of things. If a state favors a certain candidate, that candidate should be allowed to win all the votes that state gave them. Though the other candidate[s], even if not the candidate the state favored, should still keep their votes. It is a disgrace that a country "for the people" let's candidates be picked in a way that doesn't represent every citizen who has voted.
