Maine has jumped on board, joining the list of states that are ready to abolish the Electoral College and begin electing U.S. presidents by majority national vote.

Unfortunately, we can't establish a student protest camp at the Electoral College, since it has no campus.

What we can do is flood legislators in more states with requests to hurry up and get on the right side of this issue.

If we were to stop having an Electoral College, we could stop allowing candidates who lose the national popular vote to ever enter the White House as president again.

We could also compel candidates to pay attention to all states, not just a handful of "battlegrounds."

Adding your state to the National Popular Vote plan would put us very close to accomplishing these goals.

Please email your state legislators and governor: click here.

The green states on the map below have already taken action -- most recently Maine. We need a few more!

In two of the past six U.S. elections, the candidate with fewer votes became president -- most recently Donald Trump in 2016. In 2020 we were kept in doubt for days as to whether it had happened again.

And in every presidential race, candidates are forced to focus their attention on a dozen or fewer "battleground" states and ignore the vast majority nationwide.

If enough states require their electors to vote for the winner of the nationwide popular vote (rather than the state popular vote), it would fix the problems of the Electoral College without needing to amend the Constitution.

The compact won’t take effect until enough states have joined in. We're now at 17 states plus D.C. and 209 of the needed 270 Electoral College votes. When can your state get on board?
