Senator Boxer Introduces Bill to Eliminate Electoral College
"This is the only office in the land where you can get more votes and still lose the presidency," Boxer said in a statement. "The Electoral College is an outdated, undemocratic system that does not reflect our modern society, and it needs to change immediately. Every American should be guaranteed that their vote counts."
[...] "When all the ballots are counted, Hillary Clinton will have won the popular vote by a margin that could exceed two million votes, and she is on track to have received more votes than any other presidential candidate in history except Barack Obama," Boxer said.
Trump will be the fifth president in U.S. history to win the election despite losing the popular vote. George W. Bush won the most recent such election, in 2000.

It's astonishing how much of the northeast has to be tasked just with trucking food and supplies in and out of NYC alone. Once you cross the George Washington Bridge or come up in New Jersey through the Lincoln or Holland tunnels, New Jersey is nothing but mile after endless mile of container depots and shipping operations and transfer stations. New Yorkers themselves have little idea of the vast machinery that has to operate to supply their comfortable lifestyles.
Washington DC delenda est.
