What is the Electoral College and why should we defend it?

What is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and Why Is It a Threat?

Today, a San Francisco-based lobbying organization called National Popular Vote (NPV) is pushing state legislation that would nullify the Electoral College without a constitutional amendment.
