Five times in American history, the will of the people was overridden, as the presidential candidate with the most votes did not win the presidency. The Electoral College is an outdated relic initially created by enslavers to disempower voters — especially Black voters. Join us to discuss how we can conclusively get rid of it, with or without a constitutional amendment.
