National Popular Vote gaining sponsors in states across the country

The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee a majority of the Electoral College to the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The bill would reform the Electoral College so that the electoral vote in the Electoral College reflects the choice of the nation's voters for President of the United States.

A color-coded map of the United States shows where each state stands on the issue. Originally proposed by National Popular Vote two years ago at a national press conference in Washington DC, NPV has by now garnished bill passage in 15 state legislative houses.

If your state has not passed the NPV bill yet, you can contact your state representative and state senator-- Yahoo! Capwiz has their contact addresses. Thank you.
