Stop letting candidates who lose the popular vote win the presidency

We urge states across the country to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact – and stop letting candidates who lose the popular vote win the presidency.

SIGN THE PETITION

Are you tired of presidential candidates only focusing on a few battleground states – and effectively ignoring the rest of the country?

That’s the broken Electoral College in action. Presidential hopefuls know that they only need to campaign in just a handful of competitive states – so they mostly leave the rest of us out and rarely even bother trying to win our votes.

And worse, two of the past six elections have gone to the popular vote loser – meaning two of our most recent presidents failed to get more votes from the American people than their opponent.

That doesn’t sound like a fair democracy by the people to me. Our democracy shouldn’t give some Americans’ voices more weight than others.

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPV) would ensure that all of our votes count equally when picking our next president – and that the candidate who gets the most votes always wins the presidency. Add your name to tell states to sign on.
