Movement to End Electoral College Gets Boost

“A movement to give the presidency to whoever receives the most votes nationally has new momentum after Democrats swept state races in the midterm elections, but still faces major hurdles in legislative chambers and courtrooms,” the Washington Post reports.

“Finding a way to sidestep the electoral college once seemed all but impossible. But with Democrats winning full control of more state governments last week, it now appears within reach — at least politically. If supporters get their way, they will be met with a slew of litigation, and any one lawsuit could block their path.”
