Pete Buttigieg: Candidate Who Gets the Most Votes Should Be President

“One thing that would make a huge difference is if we selected our president by letting the person who got the most votes actually take the office instead of the national Electoral College,” Buttigieg said during the town hall, deeming it a “really good idea” that he believes would be better for America.

“It would be a really good idea, because then any Democrat wanting to be president would have to campaign in Oklahoma, by the way, any Republican would have to campaign in Brooklyn. That would be good for our democracy,” he said.



The Electoral College has long been under attack from Democrats despite its status as a safeguard against the “tyranny of the majority,” giving less populated states more of a proportional say and thereby preventing the country from being steered solely by the coastal elite in major metropolitan areas.
