The case for abolishing the Electoral College
Manage episode 435633224 series 1375455

Kamala Harris currently leads Donald Trump in national polls by more than 3 percentage points according to the website 538. But if there’s one thing that recent elections have taught us, it is that a victory in the popular vote does not guarantee a spot in the oval office.
This is, of course, thanks to the Electoral College.
In two of the last six elections, more Americans punched their ballots for the eventual losers than the men who went on to claim the presidency.
And the same could happen again this year.
“My opinion is that it is a fundamentally unfair system because of the way it erases so many millions of Americans’ votes,” says Jesse Wegman, a member of the editorial board of the New York Times.
In 2020 Wegman joined Diane to talk about his book, “Let the People Pick the President,” and made his case for abolishing the Electoral College. With the 2024 election less than 75 days away, we revisit their conversation.
