Andy Beshear calls for abolishing the US Electoral College
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has called for significant constitutional reforms, including the abolition of the US Electoral College. Beshear argued that the current system leads presidential candidates to focus only on a small number of competitive states, leaving others, such as Kentucky, without campaign attention.
Beshear's proposed package of constitutional amendments includes several major changes: the direct election of the President and Vice-President, the implementation of term limits for both Congress and the Supreme Court, and a ban on partisan redistricting. Additionally, he advocated for enshrining parts of the Voting Rights Act in the Constitution and overturning the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling to reform political campaign spending.
