Pass the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Democrats now control the legislatures and governorships in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada, and joining the compact would push the total electoral votes tied to the national popular vote from 222 to 283, clearing the 270 needed to make it binding.
Every vote should count equally, no matter which state a voter lives in. Four of the five presidents who won the White House while losing the popular vote were Republicans, and that structural imbalance has shaped national policy for decades. The compact is the most direct path to fixing it without a constitutional amendment.
Michigan Democrats had a trifecta from 2023 to 2024 and let this slip. That cannot happen again. Congressional consent can resolve the Article 1 compact question, and Democrats now hold Congress. The window is open. Vote to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact before it closes.
