Our speaker will be Rosemary Heilemann, a member of the League of Women Voters of
Deerfield/Lincolnshire (IL) and a member of the Electoral College Abolition Committee.
Ms. Heilemann will give us a simple but powerful explanation of our Electoral College.

• What is the Electoral College? Why do we have it?
• How does it affect voter turnout and equal representation today?
• Does it favor one political party or group of states?
• What are the myths and misunderstandings about the Electoral College?
• What are the risks if we leave things as they are?
• How can we make our elections more secure and more democratic?
