Get rid of the Electoral College

I live in New Jersey. Moved from New York years ago.

New Jersey has never mattered presidentially since 2004 when Bush and Kerry made a run at New Jersey.

Do you live in Nashville, Tennessee? Want to see a campaign there for the first time since 2000?

Do you live in Maryland? Want to see a campaign there for the first time probably since 1984 or 1988?

Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania should not decide America.

Get rid of the Electoral College.

1.eliminate the filibuster
2.Pack the supreme court
3.overturn Citizens United
4 Work for Puerto Rican and DC statehood
5.Expand the house to align closer to one man, one vote ideals

There's more of course but this would be a good start.
