It’s only a matter of time before our democracy is threatened by another Electoral College meltdown.

Hi,

Twice in the last six presidential elections, the candidate who got fewer votes won, thanks to the current, undemocratic Electoral College system.

And now polling expert Nate Silver says there's a greater than one in five chance that it will happen again this year.1

Enough is enough. It's long past time to finally fix the Electoral College, and we're supporting a plan to do just that. It's called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is a legal agreement among the states to award their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote. The compact goes into effect when enough states join to add up to 270 electoral votes — and with 17 states and the District of Columbia already on board, we're just 61 electoral votes away from victory.2

That's why we're asking you today: Will you donate $10 to Demand Progress Action to support our work to enact the National Popular Vote, and fight for other key reforms?

Donate $10

Donate $20

Donate $40

Or, donate another amount

We're now less than a month from a presidential election that will have enormous consequences for generations.

And yet 80% of the American people have effectively zero voice in the outcome, due to the current Electoral College system.

That doesn't make sense, and it's definitely not democratic.

Let's be clear: the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact isn't about helping one party or the other. It's a nonpartisan effort to make sure our democracy actually functions in a way that reflects the will of the majority.

Demand Progress Action has mobilized tens of thousands of people to call for this change. We've seen the movement grow one state at a time over the years, and today we're closer than ever. Maine joined the compact earlier this spring, and while it's too late to fix the system before the November election, we can make this the very last time we vote under the current, undemocratic Electoral College system.

Will you donate $10 to Demand Progress Action to support our work, including fighting to enact the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact?

With gratitude for all that you do,

The team at Demand Progress Action
