Buttigieg Calls for Scrapping Electoral College

Mayor Pete Buttigieg made his call to scrap the Electoral College part of his 2020 campaign launch, The Hill reports.

Said Buttigieg: “We can’t say it’s much of a democracy when twice in my lifetime the Electoral College has overruled the American people.”

He added: “Why should our vote in Indiana only count once or twice in a century? Or your vote in Wyoming or New York?”
