Why we must...
Abolish the Electoral College and Elect the President by Direct Popular Vote
Charlotte Hutt, LWVCC member presented a PowerPoint on January 13th explaining why the League of Women Voters is supporting this position. You can follow this link to view a recording of this presentation or view a pdf of the slides she used. Both are downloadable and available for you to use and share with others.
The LWVCC records and retains a full unedited copy of all Presentations. If any portion(s) of the recording(s) are redistributed out of context to make a person or topic appear to say something that was not said, or are edited specifically to make this person or the presentation look bad or in any way altered in appearance, the LWVCC will alert the media, provide the unedited video for comparison, and file appropriate complaints with an applicable governing authority, or – dependent upon the egregiousness if fraud is involved – alert local law enforcement.
The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan political organization with a mission to encourage the active and informed participation of citizens in government. The League never supports or opposes any candidate or political party and aims to provide impartial information to voters and to stimulate interest and participation in elections.
The League also conducts in-depth studies of public issues. If the local, state and/or national League has reached consensus on a particular issue, it may take a position to endorse or oppose it, but never a candidate or party that relates to that issue. After a study of the Electoral College, the National League has developed a position and voted to endorse the abolishment of the Electoral College.
