Presidency Will Be Decided by Voters in Just 7 States

Because of the state winner-take-all laws, voters in 7 states (with less than 20% of the country's population) will decide the Presidency in 2024.

That means 43 states (with 80% of the country's population) will be mere spectators to a critically important presidential election.

Because of state winner-take-all laws, presidential candidates only pay attention to voters in closely divided battleground states.

Twenty-four states (with 218 electoral votes) are safely Republican. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia (with 225 electoral votes) are safely Democratic. The 2024 presidential race will be concentrated on the remaining places with 95 electoral votes. Details

It doesn't have to be this way.

The National Popular Vote Compact (already enacted into law by 17 states and the District of Columbia) will guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It will

apply the one-person-one-vote principle to presidential elections,
give presidential candidates a compelling reason to solicit support from voters in all 50 states,
make every vote equal throughout the country,
guarantee that the candidate with the most popular votes wins.

The National Popular Vote Compact will take effect when enacted into law by states possessing 270 electoral votes (a majority of the 538 electoral votes).

The National Popular Vote Compact has been enacted into law by 17 states and the District of Columbia, including 6 small jurisdictions (DC, DE, HI, ME, RI, VT), 9 medium-sized states (CO, CT, MD, MA, MN, NJ, NM, OR, WA), and 3 big states (CA, IL, NY). These places have 209 of the 270 electoral votes needed to activate the Compact. So, we need an additional 61 electoral votes. The bill has passed one or more legislative chambers in 7 additional states possessing 74 electoral votes (AR, AZ, MI, NC, NV, OK, VA).
