Why We Should Abolish the Electoral College and How 
Tuesday, May 28, 7:00 - 8:30 PM  Wilmette Public Library
The Electoral College is a puzzling system that often has people scratching their heads about how it works and why we use it. More and more Americans are fed up with this antiquated system and would like to see it abolished.
Grab your college student recently back from school, your curious high schooler, or an interested friend and join us for a brief history of the Electoral College, a discussion of its impact on our democracy, and a plan for changing the system.  So we can ensure plenty of seating, let us know your coming by registering here.
