About this event
There’s a lot of controversy about how we elect our president. Abolishing the Electoral College would require a constitutional amendment. But there’s a workaround: a state-based approach called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Join us as we delve into the benefits and disadvantages of both and how to ensure equal representation.
