This petition seeks to begin the process of replacing the Electoral College with a popular vote to decide the President of the United States in future elections. The Electoral College is an archaic system that was designed for the 1700s, not the 21st century, and disenfranchises large portions of the American voting public. The current system encourages an electoral process that panders to the special interests of a select few, while ignoring the larger, more pressing needs of the country. The election of the President of the United States should be decided by the PEOPLE of the United States, not by a handful of counties in so-called swing states.
