This is just step one in trying to undo the electoral college. The democrats will take decades to push the popular vote through to fruition and this is their opening salvo.

This is just step one in trying to undo the electoral college. The democrats will take decades to push the popular vote through to fruition and this is their opening salvo.

A very long process that will involve amending the Constitution and will need to be ratified by 75% of the 50 states (38 of 50 states).

Democrats are not in a position of power to get traction on this anytime soon. Republicans control the majority of the state legislatures.
