The Situation Right Now
What Would Fix The Electoral College
So when enough US States pass the Compact...
10 States (plus DC), worth 165 Electoral Votes, have enacted the Compact into law.
14 States, worth 142 Electoral Votes, have passed the Compact in a legislative chamber or committee, but not into law.
We are surprisingly close to fixing the Electoral College.
In fact, here's a really good explainer video of how this works.
So. This is where you come in. Here's what you can do right now.
Yes - you need to find your *state* representatives. You likely have no idea who it is, but that's ok. Here are tools that make it fast.

On your phone & can't do this right now?
The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has been introduced in various years in all 50 States, so the legislation is written & ready.
But your legislator cannot prioritize the bill without your support. Tell them this:
Hello!
I'm an active voter from your district. I support the effort to reform the Electoral College through the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
10 States (both Republican & Democrat) have already enacted the Compact into law, and a further 14 have passed the Compact in a legislative chamber or committee.
I think our State should join as well.
In the upcoming session, please become a co-sponsor and/or vote for the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
You can find more information about the effort at NationalPopularVote.com
Thank you for your time & service.
70% of Americans support a National Popular Vote for President. The more people that pressure their State Reps, the closer we'll be.
