John, we are closer than ever to fixing the broken Electoral College.
Last year, Common Cause members like you sent messages, called legislators, and donated to pass National Popular Vote in Minnesota – the groundbreaking solution to our Electoral College problem.
And now, as states across the country ramp up their 2024 legislative sessions, I’m going to need your help as we go down the home stretch.
National Popular Vote (NPV) is an agreement between states to award their electoral votes to the candidate that wins the most votes nationwide. That way, someone can’t win the presidency without the majority of Americans’ support – like Bush did in 2000 and Trump did in 2016.
And John, that’s not all National Popular Vote will accomplish.
Right now, we’re working in a broken system where candidates for president ignore 65% of Americans. Time and time again, candidates are forced to focus on just a handful of swing states, only visiting “blue” or “red” states to fundraise.
It happens every year, and sadly, it’ll keep happening – until we take action.
National Popular Vote takes effect when 270 electoral votes worth of states sign on – and right now we’re just 65 away from that crucial milestone!
Just 10 years ago, that gap was 134 votes – nearly 3 times as long. Now, after a decade of slow and steady progress, victory is in sight. Our strategy works: we identify states where we can win, then we pull out all the stops and focus our nationwide grassroots efforts to get it done.
So believe me when I tell you: I’m confident we can get a running start this year by getting more states on board – provided that we are able to properly resource this fight.
That’s why I’m asking you today to step up and make this historic fight for a democracy where ALL voters count possible.
Can I count on you to chip in $3 today and fix our broken Electoral College?
