About:
Co-Sponsored by the New Mexico Federalist Society and Save Our States. This event is hosted at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque.
The Constitution creates a multi-step democratic process to elect the president and vice president–the Electoral College. It unifies, moderates, and protects American politics, and is part of what makes the United States a federal republic. Today, this system is threatened by a campaign to manipulate the Electoral College using an interstate compact. This “National Popular Vote” scheme threatens to create a constitutional crisis.
Join the Rio Grande Foundation, as we host Trent England, founder and executive director of Save Our States, as he discusses the importance of the Electoral College and what you can do to help safeguard the American republic.
