Former candidate for the presidency of the United States, former first lady of the country, Hillary Clinton, called for a change in the country’s electoral system. The politician wrote about this in Twitter…
In her opinion, the electoral college should be abolished, and the US president should be elected by popular vote. “But while it (the electoral college – ed.) Still exists, I proudly cast my vote in New York for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,” Clinton said.
In 2016, Clinton’s rival in the US presidential election was Donald Trump. He lost to her in votes, but the electors supported him. According to polls of voters, the Republican won thanks to the elderly and men.
The US presidential election took place on November 3. According to media reports, Democrat Joe Biden is ahead of Trump in the number of popular votes and in the number of electoral votes. The head of the White House is confident that the elections were held with numerous violations and falsifications in favor of the Democrats.
His attempt to sue in an attempt to block the electoral vote has failed.
The new president is elected by an electoral college of 538 people who represent their states. The number of electoral members is equal to the number of senators from a given state.
