Time to elect the president popularly "We urge voters to vote yes on Proposition 113, and help this nation get to a popularly elected president." "The winner-takes-all electoral college system adopted by all but two states gives some votes more weight while stripping other votes of all their power." "The system also awarded less weight to the 1.3 million Colorado voters who supported Clinton than to the 174,419 voters in Wyoming who supported Trump. Each of the three electoral votes Trump won in Wyoming represented 58,000 votes, while in Colorado each electoral vote won by Clinton represented about 162,000 votes." "We can no longer allow millions of voters to feel their vote for president is futile because they are in the minority in their state. Republicans in California and Democrats in Texas should have their votes count as much as the votes of their political counterparts." "Sen. Mike Foote, who sponsored the National Popular Vote Compact bill in Colorado, argues that candidates are ignoring four out of five states in favor of those battleground states like Michigan where swaying a few thousand voters can be the difference between zero electoral votes and 16 electoral votes." "Foote says that favoritism toward these swing states continues once the president is in office with tax breaks, favorable tariffs and even favorable treatment during times of distress. The president should pay attention to the whole country and not just a handful of battleground states."
