Endorsement

The Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) recently added the following paragraph to its official platform statement, under the heading of Defending Democracy.

• Electoral College Reform: The current Electoral College system can result in the unjust election of a president opposed by a majority of the American people. Since elimination of the Electoral College would require a Constitutional amendment, we support the adoption of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact by as many states as necessary, which provides that upon adoption by states whose electoral votes total at least 270, the states in the Compact would agree to cast their electoral votes for the presidential candidate receiving the most popular votes nationally, irrespective of the results in their particular state.

The founder and Chair of JDCA is Ron Klein, a former member Florida House of Representatives (1992-1996), a former member and Democratic leader of the Florida Senate (1996-2006), and a former member of the House of Representatives (2006-2010) from Florida’s 22^nd congressional district (Broward and Palm Beach Counties). He is currently a partner at the law firm of Holland & Knight.
