Presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren on Monday night called for abolishing the Electoral College.
The Massachusetts Democrat said during a town hall on CNN that she would back a plan to scrap the process and move the country to a national popular vote.
“My view is that every vote matters,†Warren said to applause. “And the way we can make that happen is that we can have national voting and that means get rid of the Electoral College — and every vote counts.â€
The electoral process, she said, effectively disenfranchises voters in states dominated by one party.
“Come a general election, presidential candidates don’t come to places like Mississippi, they also don’t come to places like California or Massachusetts, because we’re not the battleground states,†Warren said.
Fellow Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg has also said he wants to scrap the Electoral College.
