I feel this is one of the most troubling issues we are being faced with today. Direct election of the president is completely contrary to our current system, the vision of the founders, and the federalist system. The League of Women Voters are now weighing in on the movement towards a National Popular Vote by changing the way states are awarding their electoral votes. Their support of this movement may push it over the line and actually make it successful. I urge anyone who is involved with or knows of a local league to confront them on this issue. They have already resolved that the electoral college should be abolished so they need to be educated on the consequences of having a National Popular Vote and alternatives to such a radical change in our system.
The League shall be finalizing their decision [of whether or not to support this movement] on May 1st or soon thereafter.
