This election marks the fourth time in US history that the President-elect has won the election without winning the popular vote. On Tuesday, Donald Trump lost the popular vote by almost 400,000 votes, yet won the election with 290 Electoral College votes, while Hillary Clinton only obtained 222 Electoral College votes. This proves that the system currently in place does not equally represent the desires and needs of the American people, and change must come to ensure just democracy.





The Electoral College is dated, and given the outcome of this election, we must reconsider the way the voting system determines the President-elect in order to ensure it adequately represents the American people for future elections.





Sign our petition to urge Congress to end the Electoral College and implement a system in which the popular vote has a greater deciding factor in the outcome of the election.
