Senator Boxer Argues Against Electoral College

California Senator Barbara Boxer discusses Hillary Clinton’s 2.3 million foot lead in the popular vote, arguing that Clinton would win by 2.7 million votes in the popular vote race. Boxer talks about tweets related to the Electoral College made by President-elect Donald Trump in 2012 and the day after winning the presidency. Boxer says the presidential candidates should campaign in every state, not to key states deciding the winner under the Electoral College system. Boxer concludes that using the Electoral College to determine the winner of presidential elections negatively affects voter turnout because some voters feel that their votes will not count and therefore do not participate in the process.
