I just want to point a couple things out we're in 2024 this is the 21st century it is time for us to be electing the president of the United States the way we elect Governors Representatives Senators Mayors everybody else whoever gets the most votes wins we've had five popular vote losers become president twice in this Century in 201 and 2016 under the creaky Antiquated and obsolete mechanisms of the Electoral College which is so subject uh to fraud and manipulation and as we saw in this very chamber the Electoral College can get you killed in the 21st century because it offers more opportunities to strategic bad faith actors like former president Donald Trump to try to revisit a result and reopen a result in an election so we need to be moving forward to a national popular vote for election
