Ending the Electoral College

WHEREAS, Every four years, a temporary group of electors equal to the total number of representatives in Congress vote for the President of the United States and not the American people; and 

WHEREAS, The first candidate to get 270 of the 538 total electoral votes wins the White House; and 2024 RESOLUTIONS 78 

WHEREAS, Five times in United States history, the presidential candidates that won the popular vote, lost the Electoral College; and 

WHEREAS, In the last election corrupt fake electors tried to sign off and vote for the losing Presidential candidate who did not win the popular vote, and lost the Electoral College leading to questions as to which candidate actual won the election. This corruption was targeted at urban areas with a high number of people of color; and 

WHEREAS, according to a Pew Research Center survey, the Electoral College system continues to play an outside role in recent U.S. elections with two-thirds of U.S. adults (65%) saying the way the president is elected should be changed so that the winner of the popular vote nationwide wins the Presidency. 

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) reaffirm its 2020 Resolution "Repeal Electoral College" and 2008 Resolution "Proposed NAACP National Popular Vote." 

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the NAACP will continue to advocate for the change that declares the winner of the popular vote as the winner of the Presidential elections.
