Stephen Silberstein is a board member of National Popular Vote, whose purpose is to implement a nationwide popular election of the President of the United States.

“We’re not going to re-litigate or redo the results of this election.  This election was run under a set of rules.  It’s not useful to change the rules of the game after the game is over with so that you can get a different result… If you really want to do something, change the rules now in time for the next election.” 

Stephen Silberstein of National Popular Vote on reforming, not abolishing the Electoral College.

“If you believe in majority rules, you believe in majority rules no matter where that majority comes from… There’s no democracy in the world that has this kind of absurd flip-flop situation with such dramatic consequences.”
