The Letter

Subject Support the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

Five times, the candidate with the most votes nationwide did not become president, most recently in 2016. I want every vote for president to count the same, no matter which state it is cast in.

In 2024, 245 of the 261 presidential campaign events were in seven swing states, and 32 states got none. Voters everywhere else were left out of the campaign.

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact fixes this without amending the Constitution. Member states give their electors to the candidate who wins the most votes nationwide, and the compact takes effect once members hold 270 electoral votes. Eighteen states and D.C., holding 222, have joined.

Please sponsor or vote for a bill to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact this session.
