全国普选和选举团
我们理应举行这样的总统选举:每个选民都有平等的发言权,获胜的候选人必须与所有 50 个州接触。Common Cause 正在努力修复支离破碎的选举团制度。
In several recent presidential races, the candidate who won the popular vote lost the election. And in every presidential election, candidates are forced to focus their attention on only a handful of swing states, essentially ignoring voters everywhere else. The winner-take-all Electoral College system that produces this anti-democratic process must be changed, so that voters in all 50 states have a say in choosing our president.
Here is how our National Popular Vote & the Electoral College campaign will fix this: the Constitution allows states to decide how they award their electoral votes, so if enough require their votes to go to the winner of the nationwide popular vote, we could fix the Electoral College’s problems without needing to amend the Constitution. This National Popular Vote Compact will not take effect until states with 270 electors—a majority—joined in. But we are closer to that than you might think: 16 states and the District of Columbia have already signed on, providing 205 electoral votes of the needed 270.
