About this event
The Electoral College Hurts our Democracy
This is a hybrid meeting. The in person event is at the Santa Rosa JC in the Bertolini Student Center, Room 4643. It will also be on Zoom. Robyn Bramhall, our league youth outreach coordinator, and Lauren Shanahan, a student from Windsor high school will be presenting.
Campus Map
The League of Women Voters Nationally have supported the campaign to elect the president by popular vote since 1970.
During their presentation, Lauren and Robyn will tell us:
- What the Electoral College is
- What the LWVUS position is on the topic, and why
- What the main problems are with the Electoral College, and how they could be solved by replacing it with direct popular vote
- Why its defenders say we can’t eliminate the Electoral College, and why each of those reasons is based on myth
- What needs to be done to abolish the Electoral College
- What YOU can do NOW to help us hasten the demise of this supremely UN-democratic institution.
