A group of Senate Democrats, including Sens. Dick Durbin, Brian Schatz, and Peter Welch, have introduced a proposed constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College system in presidential elections. The amendment aims to replace it with a system where the candidate who wins the popular vote would secure the presidency.
Sen. Durbin emphasized the need to retire the Electoral College, which he described as an outdated system that disenfranchises millions of Americans. He highlighted the importance of empowering voters to choose their leaders without any hindrances.
