President should be candidate getting the most popular votes nationwide ‌ ‌ ‌ View as web page - For easy sharing Switch by 22,856 Voters Would Have Defeated Biden -- Despite Nationwide Lead of 5,346,780 A switch by 5,495 voters in Arizona, 7,087 in Georgia, and 10,274 in Wisconsin would have defeated Joe Biden in last week's presidential election -- despite Biden's (growing) nationwide lead of 5,346,780. Each of these 22,286 voters were 234 times more important than the 5,346,780. Under the current state-by-state "winner-take-all" system of electing the President, all of a state's electoral votes are awarded to the candidate who gets the most votes in each separate state. Biden would not have the 270 electoral votes needed for election without the 37 electoral votes from these three states. Near-misses are common under the current winner-take-all system. In 2004, a switch of 59,393 in Ohio would have given John Kerry a majority of the Electoral College -- despite President George W. Bush's nationwide lead of 3,012,171. And, in 2016, a switch of 5,353 votes in Michigan, 11,375 in Wisconsin, and 22,147 in Pennsylvania would have given the Presidency to the winner of the national popular vote, instead of Donald Trump. The National Popular Vote bill will guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Please tell your state legislators to pass the National Popular Vote bill.
