NATIONAL POPULAR VOTE
The National Popular Vote compact will guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The compact will take effect when enacted by states with a majority of the electoral votes (270 of 538).
After the compact comes into effect, the presidential candidate supported by the most voters in all 50 states and DC will receive all the electoral votes of all the enacting states. Because those states have a majority of the electoral votes, the national popular vote winner will have a majority of the presidential electors in the Electoral College, and therefore become President.
The National Popular Vote compact has already been enacted into law by 15 states and the District of Columbia (together possessing 196 electoral votes).
In a referendum on Tuesday November 3, Colorado voters demonstrated that the National Popular Vote law is popular by approving the law that had been enacted last year by the Colorado legislature and Governor.
