a 3rd Party Bid could throw the EC to Trump!

John, After Minnesota joined the NPVIC, the count is up to 16 states, plus D.C.   That gives us 205 of the 270 necessary Electoral Votes to enact the NPVIC and effectively END the Electoral College — We're 76% of the way there!  Here's the next step: our 5-States Fund is working directly with Pro…

John, Senator Sanders is right. In America's Presidential elections, every vote should count — whether you live in New York, Wisconsin, Kansas or California.   But if we don't act now to enact the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact ahead of the 2024 Election, the battle for President will a…
