Ann Arbor — Michigan's Secretary of State-elect Jocelyn Benson is calling on residents to debate the way America selects presidents.
Benson, who will oversee the next presidential election for the state as the newly elected Michigan secretary of state, said as the 2020 election approaches, conversations on election reforms will increase, as will questions surrounding whether the Electoral College remains effective.
"The Electoral College is voter suppression,"
Benson didn't take a stance on whether the Electoral College should be replaced by the popular vote. She said she's focused on restoring voter confidence so they don't become disengaged.
"I think there are many ways to reform the system with an eye towards creating or encouraging an informed and engaged election and restoring voter confidence in the system," Benson told The Detroit News after the forum.
In 2007, Maryland became the first state to join the National Popular Vote Interstate bill, which proposes that electoral votes should be awarded to whichever presidential candidate wins the overall popular vote. As of September 2018, it has been endorsed by 11 states and the District of Columbia.
