Symone Sanders: We Need Electoral College Reform Because the System Was Designed to Empower Racists

‘We have to remember ... how the electoral college was built’

EXCERPT:

SANDERS: "But, I do believe we need Electoral College reform. We need to remember, you know, how the Electoral College was built and existed. It was built to preserve the votes as the power of the folks in the South. It was! That's what it was built for. It was built to preserve the power of the folks in the South, it was built so these former white slave owners could continue to retain their electoral power. I think we can have a 'for real' conversation about that, about Electoral College reform."
