Now we need to support and urge state legislators in states with the 74 more electoral votes needed, to enact the National Popular Vote bill to make every vote in the country matter and count equally in presidential elections.
The current state-by-state winner-take-all system of electing the President repeatedly generates unnecessary uncertainty and chaos.
Most Americans think it is wrong that the candidate with the most national popular votes can lose a presidential election.
We don't allow this in any other election in our representative republic.
The bill is 73% of the way to guaranteeing the majority of Electoral College votes and the presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in the country.
The bill changes state statewide winner-take-all laws (not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but later enacted by 48 states), without changing anything in the Constitution, using the built-in method that the Constitution provides for states to make changes.
States are agreeing to award their 270+ electoral votes to the winner of the most national popular votes.
All votes would be valued equally in presidential elections, no matter where voters live.
