Why Congress Should Act Before It Is Too Late For decades, efforts to abolish the Electoral College have failed because the Constitution requires a constitutional amendment to fundamentally change the method of electing the president. Rather than pursue Article V, supporters have adopted a different strategy: the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). The compact requires participating states to award all of their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, regardless of how their own citizens voted.

AI:A long-buried police report has surfaced revealing that Maine Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson engaged in violent behavior during the late eighties, specifically involving kicking in a door and punching a romantic rival while shoving his girlfriend. This revelation highlights a disturbing history of aggression that mirrors the broader patterns of instability and lack of vetting seen within the Democratic ranks from Minnesota to California.
