*overwhelming majority* in favor of ending the EC

John — Polls show that an overwhelming number of Americans are in favor of eliminating the Electoral College and electing our Presidents by National Popular Vote. And in 2023 alone, states like Nevada, Maine, and Michigan have all taken steps toward joining the National Popular Vote Interstate C…

Elect the President by popular vote!

John — it's this simple:   Our TOP PRIORITY is to end the Electoral College, for good.   To do that, we are working directly with Pro-Popular Vote Democrats in states around the nation to allocate the resources needed to advance the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact — and finally elect our…

**MSNBC agrees completely**

Did you see this from MSNBC, John? More and more outlets are chiming in, because the Presidential Election is closer than ever and our work to end the Electoral College remains unfinished.   Now, our 5-States-Fund is kicking its advocacy into an even higher gear. We're working directly with Pro-P…

John, slowly but surely, we are making progress. Here's the most recent update for you:  — Legislation to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has now been re-introduced in Arizona and Wisconsin, and is now moving through the State Legislature in Michigan.  — And. Legislation to join…

Not giving up, John, and you can't either!

There is still time to avert disaster, John. But only if we get ahead of this, now.  John, it's the truth. The Electoral College is the greatest continuing threat to the future of our Democracy.  And, although we've continued to make incredible progress — Minnesota has joined the National Popu…

Electoral College remains a danger

John, we're going to keep this short and sweet. The Electoral College is a danger to our nation.   It disenfranchises millions of voters in every Presidential Election — and it suppresses voter turnout by up to 16% in non-Battleground ground states.   It's routinely abused by Republicans looking …

Is the EC a National Security Threat?

John — We're going to keep this simple and straightforward:   The Electoral College is the primary tool Republicans use to swing national elections and suppress the will of the people. That's why Donald Trump's latest indictment for attempting to subvert the 2020 election is so troubling.  Not be…

re: Is Michigan the next domino?

John, it is as clear as day:  The problem with the Electoral College is not that Donald Trump tried — and nearly succeeded — to abuse its mechanisms to illegally remain in power. The problem is the system itself.  It is archaic, and undemocratic, and it remains ripe for abuse by unscrupulous acto…

John, With Minnesota having joined the NPVIC, the count is up to 16 states, plus D.C.   That puts us at 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 …
