Three Senate Democrats have introduced a constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College system, Alexander Bolton reported for The Hill.
Critics of the Electoral College highlight that it has twice led to a president winning the White House despite losing the popular vote.
Senators Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), and Peter Welch (D-Vt.) argue the move would restore democracy by allowing the president to be elected through a direct popular vote.
"The person who gets the most votes should win. It’s that simple," Schatz stated.
The proposal comes after President-elect Trump’s victory in November, where he won all seven battleground states despite losing the national popular vote.
Critics of the Electoral College highlight that it has twice led to a president winning the White House despite losing the popular vote — George W. Bush in 2000 and Donald Trump in 2016.
