Warren Supports Elimination of Electoral College

If Elizabeth Warren has her way, presidential elections in the United States could be tallied very differently with the 2020 Democrat candidate expressing her support for eliminating the Electoral College.

Speaking at a town hall in Mississippi, the Massachusetts Senator told the Jackson State University audience, “My view is that every vote matters and the way we can make that happen is that we can have national voting, and that means get rid of the Electoral College.”

Warren isn’t alone in her push for popular vote counting. Bernie Sanders is also in support, calling the current system “unfair” to many states.

“I think everybody ought to have to come and ask for your vote,” Warren added, noting that the Electoral College allows candidates to only focus on “battleground” states.
