In my piece The Atlantic, I argue something few are willing to admit: the Electoral College was designed to privilege white voters, and it continues to do so today. (1/5) theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…



Sick of the #Purcell principle yet? Ur not alone. My @statecourtrpt piece offers more reason to feel uneasy about it: it's infected not just fed courts but state courts too. See how it can impact the 2024 election (w/ link to W&L Law Review draft article) shorturl.at/h1K6F

Look forward to partaking in school, civic & advocacy org., and media events over the next 3 weeks to celebrate National Voter Registration Day & #ConstitutionDay. But two quick thoughts: 1. Register & get #VoteReady 2. The Electoral College is still awful shorturl.at/OpJE6 Joe Davidson



Honoring #ConstitutionDay cont. w/ League of Women Voters of the US of East Nassau. Discussion Topic? The History, Operation, and Alternatives to the Electoral College. In the wise words of one member, "We need to keep at [the effort to abolish] it, even if it doesn't happen in my lifetime."

I'm looking forward to being back in Dallas, talking at the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum this evening about that peculiar fixture in our Constitution (i.e. the one that folks get interested in after every summer Olympics). Yep, the #electoralcollege. Join the conversation: shorturl.at/ZRbfx
