Jamie Raskin Advocates for Changes to the Electoral College on Bill Maher’s Show

EXCERPT:

RASKIN: "Yes, eventually, to change the Electoral College we would. We do have a plan in place, this was my first bill I introduced in Annapolis when I was a state senator for a national popular vote interstate compact, and we have more than 200 electors in the coalition. We need 270 electors to trigger it. And what it says is we, states, will cast our Electoral College votes for the winner of the nationwide votes rather than the winner in our state. So, we are two thirds of the way there. I mean, Trump used to denounce the Electoral College. He said it made us the laughing stock of the world. Then, after the 2016 election, he discovered some heretofore mysterious virtues to the Electoral College."
