YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDid you know that the U.S. is one of the few democracies in the world that doesn’t elect its president by some form of popular vote?
Every presidential election cycle, the Electoral College comes under scrutiny, and with good reason – it allows a politician to become president without actually winning the popular vote. That’s exactly what happened in 2016 when Trump won the White House, even though Hillary Clinton received 3 million more votes. Many critics fear this could happen again in 2020.
So why is a system, that is inherently unfair because it gives more weight to some states over others, still a thing in American politics?
In this episode of our series, “You vs. The System,” we’ll look at how the Electoral College messes with your vote, the system’s racist history and if it’s time to get rid of the Electoral College once and for all.
