As the last votes trickle in, it appears that for the second time in only 16 years, the winner of the popular vote will not become President of the United States. The Electoral College is an outdated and indefensible distortion of democracy. It gives more weight to less populated areas, and dampens voter turnout in states where the outcome is less competitive. It has given us George W. Bush, and now, Donald Trump. It is time we demand, once and for all, that the Electoral College be abolished.
