The electoral college system is a relic from the 18th century that was a last-minute compromise. It has evolved in unexpected ways, and includes loopholes that allow for manipulation of the popular vote. Learn why it should be abolished in favor of a system that counts all the votes in one total result.
Our speaker, Rosemary Heilleman, Vice President of the League of Women Voters of Illinois and Issues and Advocacy Co-Chair, is a founding member of the League of Women Voters of Deerfield Electoral College Committee, which has been working since 2017 to educate the public about the need to abolish the electoral college permanently by Constitutional amendment. She is joined by fellow League of Women Voters of Deerfield member, Bonnie McNeill.
