Senate Dems introduce measure to abolish Electoral College

[LastManStanding]

A group of Democratic senators on Tuesday introduced a measure to do away with the Electoral College, picking up on a talking point that has caught fire in the 2020 Democratic presidential field.

The measure serves as companion legislation to one put forward in the House by Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., and counts one presidential candidate -- Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York -- among its co-sponsors. Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin of Illinois, Dianne Feinstein of California and Brian Schatz of Hawaii also sponsored the resolution.

Introduce another measure to abolish the current system of electing senators. Allocate senators based on population, not the current system where 2 slots are given to every state.
