On this episode of The Open Mind, we're delighted to welcome Pam Wilmot, electoral reform director for Common Cause and executive director of Common Cause, Massachusetts.
In our 2018 state and federal elections by an overwhelming majority in the popular vote the nation sought to restore democratic accountability, but that may not be possible across the Midwest where GOP gerrymandered majority legislatures are removing the powers of newly elected democratic governors. What Republicans are doing in Wisconsin Michigan and North Carolina too is the stuff of third world regimes. There's no mistaking it. Republican leaderships seem intent on executing the very soul of our democracy, negating “We the People.” And let's not forget too that in two presidential elections within the last 20 years, the majority vote were denied representation in the White House. The national popular vote campaign of states pledges to honor the will of the majority in our Electoral College and today to discuss that and other electoral matters is Pam Wilmot.
