Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Monday that she fully supports abolishing the Electoral College and moving toward a national vote, the first time the 2020 presidential candidate has publicly taken the stance. “My view is that every vote matters,” the Massachusetts Democrat said to roaring applause at her CNN presidential town hall at Jackson State University in Mississippi. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has called for a change in the Electoral College, saying the system is “unfair” to many states. Pete Buttigieg, the young Democratic mayor from South Bend, Indiana, has also been vocal about getting rid of the Electoral College. This bluntly racist defense of the Electoral College gives us one more reminder of why it's got to go.
