Senate Democrats propose abolishing the Electoral College in favor of a direct popular vote for president.

Senate Democrats, including Dick Durbin, Brian Schatz, and Peter Welch, have introduced a constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College and replace it with a direct popular vote for president. Supporters argue it would ensure every vote counts equally, while critics worry it could disenfranchise voters in smaller states. The proposal has backing from 17 states and the District of Columbia.
