1ºWe need to guarantee the candidate who wins the most national popular votes always wins the presidency.
Every vote in every state would matter and count equally as 1 vote in the national total.
State legislators in states with 75 more electoral votes are needed to enact the National Popular Vote bill.
The sheer magnitude of the national popular vote number (more than 7 MILLION more votes), compared to individual (especially battleground) state vote totals (45,000 more in 3 states), is much more robust against “pure insanity,” deception, manipulation, and, sometimes, crimes.
We also need to support professional election officials and candidates and lawmakers who support voting rights and respect election results.
States are agreeing to award their 270+ electoral votes to the winner of the most national popular votes, by simply again changing their state’s law.
All votes would be valued equally in presidential elections, no matter where voters live.
There is nothing in the Constitution that prevents states from making the decision now that winning the national popular vote is required to win the Electoral College and the presidency.
It is perfectly within a state’s authority to decide that national popularity is the overriding substantive criterion by which a president should be chosen.
Before new voter suppression and election subversion laws, based on the Big Lie/Big Grift, the system with 2020 election laws meant that the winning 2024 candidate could need a national popular vote win of 5 percentage points or more in order to squeak out an Electoral College victory.

2ºMark Werderitsch - STATES are enacting the bill.
Because of current state-by-state statewide winner-take-all laws for Electoral College votes, not mentioned, much less endorsed, in the Constitution . . .
70% of all Americans have been irrelevant in presidential election.
Over the last 4 elections, 22 states received 0 events; 9 states received 1 event, and 95% of the 1,164 events were in just 14 states.
Only voters in the few states where support for the two parties is almost equally divided can be important.
The smallest states and the most rural states, have barely hosted a major general campaign event for a presidential candidate during the last 20 years.
Almost all small and medium-sized states and almost all western, southern, and northeastern states are totally ignored after the conventions.
Our presidential selection system can shrink the sphere of public debate to only a few thousand swing voters in a few states.
The only states that have received any campaign events and any significant ad money have been where the outcome was between 45% and 51% Republican.
In 2000, the Bush campaign, spent more money in the battleground state of Florida to win by 537 popular votes, than it did in 42 other states combined,
This can lead to a corrupt and toxic body politic.
When candidates with the most national popular votes are guaranteed to win the Electoral College, candidates will be forced to build campaigns that appeal to every voter in all parts of all states.
In Gallup polls since they started asking in 1944 until before the 2016 election, only about 20% of the public supported the current system of awarding all of a state's electoral votes to the presidential candidate who receives the most votes in each separate state (not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but later enacted by 48 states) (with about 70% opposed and about 10% undecided).
Support for a national popular vote for President has been strong among Republicans, Democrats, and Independent voters, as well as every demographic group in every state surveyed. In the 41 red, blue, and purple states surveyed, overall support has been in the 67-81% range - in rural states, in small states, in Southern and border states, in big states, and in other states polled.
21,461 choices and votes in 3 states were 329 times more important than the more than 7 million national vote lead in the country.
There were several scenarios in which a candidate could have won the presidency in 2020 with fewer popular votes than their opponents.
That could have reduced future turnout more, if more voters realized their votes do not matter.
Most Americans don't ultimately care whether their presidential candidate wins or loses in their state or district. Voters want to know, that no matter where they live, even if they were on the losing side, their vote actually was equally counted and mattered to their candidate. Most Americans think it is wrong that the candidate with the most popular votes can lose. It undermines the legitimacy of the electoral system. We don't allow this in any other election in our representative republic.
More than 3,522 state legislators among all 50 states have endorsed it.
The National Popular Vote bill was approved in 2016 by a unanimous bipartisan House committee vote in both Georgia (16 electoral votes) and Missouri (10).
Since 2006, the bill has passed 41 state legislative chambers in 25 rural, small, medium, large, Democratic, Republican and purple states with 283 electoral votes, including one house in Arizona (11), Arkansas (6), Maine (4), Michigan (15), Minnesota (10), North Carolina (16), Oklahoma (7) and Virginia (13), and both houses in Nevada (6).
The bill has been enacted by 16 small, medium, and large jurisdictions with 195 electoral votes – 72% of the way to guaranteeing the majority of Electoral College votes and the presidency to the candidate with the most national popular votes.
When enacted by states with 270 electoral votes, it would change state winner-take-all laws (not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but later enacted by 48 states), in the enacting states, without changing anything in the Constitution, again using the built-in method that the Constitution provides for states to choose how to vote.
3ºSteve Marchiol Oh well, when you put it that way I guess it's OK that a President tried to overturn an election and install himself as President despite the fact that he lost an election... BTW: If you're going to talk records: Trump sided with Putin over our intelligence agencies on the world stage. Trump added almost 7 trillion to the national debt he promised to pay off. No infrastructure bill only weekly infrastructure meetings. No improved health insurance but sued to get millions kicked off the insurance they had in the midst of a pandemic. Promised to get us out of Afghanistan but instead signed a surrender agreement with the Taliban completely undermining the Afghanistan government and then left the exit for the next guy. Turned his back on our Kurdish allies leaving them to be slaughtered. Was responsible for one of the worst responses to COVID among developed countries. Had the largest drop in oil production in our history thanks to his mishandling of the pandemic.
4ºJohn Laird answer me this?.. has any of this bias media circus made your life any better financially, socially, internationally?.. For the 1.5 years,based on the current affairs of our country a few questions have arisen. If you are not aware, approximately 81 million people voted for the current President. For those that voted for this President, I have to ask, is this what you expected from President Biden? Has he fulfilled your hopes and dreams of a better America? Is our country safer today than it was a year ago? What are you thoughts of the southern border where over 200,000 unvaccinated people are crossing into this country every month? Is this the promise you expected during the worst pandemic of our lifetime? Are they being tested? Are they receiving the vaccine? Are they coming to your neighborhood? Is our country safer or not regarding the withdrawal of our troops in Afghanistan? Do our Allies trust us more or less after this debacle? And now,with Putin invading Ukraine?. My opinion is no, no, no and absolutely not! Remember that no less than 2 years ago we were energy efficient and gas was under $2.00 a gallon. We were net positive with natural gas and didn’t have to rely on OPEC for natural gas! Our President pleaded with OPEC nations to increase fuel production and was shut down with a resounding absolutely not! Remember our President shut down the Alaskan pipeline and told the workers to learn how to build solar panels! “ It’s an easy transition “ he said! Hahahaha! Our President is in the process of asking you to spend trillions of dollars in spending when we are headed into a recession where we will make less money and our tax percentage is about to be increased! And now, will go to grovel to the Arabs to sell us oil to make up our losses.
In addition , Vaccine Mandates have been handed down by this administration threatening jobs if not recieved, and currently their are talks about stopping SS and disability benefits for seniors who are not vaccinated..Do you know how much a trillion dollars is? I’ll tell you what, go on your calculator and try to add one trillion dollars and one trillion dollars! It doesn’t have that many zeros! I could go on for hours explaining the trouble our country is in but I am only going leave you with this warning! Save your money! Our economy is in trouble and headed for a deep recession! Remember when Cargo ships loaded with import good sat docked off the all coasts, no manpower to unload them, …The world has no fear of America any more! The stock market is being propped up by our government! Spare us the the BS it’s all because of Covid narrative..Our allies don’t trust us anymore and our enemies don’t fear us anymore! After all of this there is only one question to be asked? Do the mean tweets that offended you,worth all this?
5ºMost people don't even realise that the economy is collapsing and there is an increasing rate of unemployment worldwide so take advantage and prepare while things are still on the shelf in the store, the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don't know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or crypto and stocks
Investment has since the beginning of the world been the lodge for physical wealth and trading is the most liquid way to achieve proper investment plans when real estate is not in play. I've invested all my life so has my Wife. When you trade with an expert like Mr PETER BRANDT, you're sure guaranteed of earning good profits so my Advice is do it and see good results quick.
Right now the markets (Stocks and crypto currency) are going berserk. This is the best time to watch them, get to know them better, and strike when the opportunity presents itself. I learned that from my mentor, 'Mr Peter Brandt' He has seen Dozens of market cycles over the past few decades, and he has a feel for how they move, why they move and what comes next.
6ºDemocrats…
Are you still going to keep voting for Democrats after so many have die because of them? They all have lied to you for years and they rely on your short memory span ! Inflation running wild! The War on Energy, Lie after lie on the Chinese virus and so on.
People around the country wake up every day wondering whether they’ve saved enough to provide for themselves and their families before they retire from a job that provides basic dignity — a good job you can raise a family on, a job that provides a dignified retirement and will give you peace of mind.
How many Americans go to bed at night wondering, “Am I going to be all right? Is my family going to be save and alive tomorrow night
A lot of politicians like to talk about how they’re going to do something about it. Their war on guns against law abiding citizens not the criminals give me a break
Really just think about that for a min.
Look at what has happened since the election! Dems are only good at Lying and Blaming others and destroy this country !
Could you or a loved one be next one to go ? Think about that!
Jan 6 ! What joke and planned distraction !
Wake UP

Hi.. America.
Listen to me baby. To solve the crisis of increasing prices, you have to understand what I m saying carefully.
The main reason are you.
Why and how?
Look to this algorithm.
I am stating the fact, it is not analysis.
Point of mistake starts from 20% of the democrats party supporters, they are push Biden to rupture the countries of middle east. So our hearts was congested With hatred because of destructive Foreign politic strategy of Biden and Obama, and we are waiting for any chance to destroy Democrats party and the chance came, so we will not help Biden but we will try to increase the prices to be guaranteed that Biden will fail in coming election because of americans anger.
Second point which is that the most of american babies don't know or dont care about it which that the doller is connected with oil economically, and If we start selling the oil with Chinese currency (yuan) . America will disappear from earth within one hour.
So we will wait for 2 years to work with any guy belong to republican party because we cant trust Biden who work against the American interests and also our interests,
And all that hatred was done, because Biden want to satisfy of 20% of democrats supporters whom actualy most of them is immigrant, they don't care about american strategic interests, only they care about their interesta.

8ºLeon Fetter 81 million votes Biden got by just winning 16% of our nation’s counties. At the same time getting 10 million votes out of California explain to me how Biden got an extra 71 million votes by winning the lesat amount of counties in American history you Prove to me the math on how Biden become more popular than Obama and Trump by winning the least amount of counties and only democrat ran cities especially when the census never changed from 2016 to 2020 ill wait for the answer and please dont tell me population centers vote that still won’t get you another 71 million votes.
9ºPat LaBrie facts he did try to start an insurrection facts he did try to lead it facts when his administration wouldn't back him up he put other people in place the very fact that you want to support an overthrow of our government and take down a democracy and no longer have a republic tells me a lot about you and the online message you are receiving from those hate online groups that tell you about a new America did that racist website tell you that the rebels will outnumbered the Republic even if you get power it will be short lived because we all know what Republicans do they lie cheat and still and when the American people figure it out like they did the last 4 years they will vote in a different way
10ºSteve Marchiol - So happy President Biden decided not to buy oil from Trump’s master!
The KGB — and Czechoslovakian agents — first noticed Trump in 1977 when he married his first wife, Czech Ivana Zelnickova, Shvets told The Guardian.
Trump was wooed during his first visit with his wife to Moscow and St. Petersburg in 1987, as intelligence operatives flattered him, floated talking points they hoped he would push in the U.S., and urged Trump to go into politics, said Shvets.
“For the KGB, it was a charm offensive,” he explained. “They had collected a lot of information on his personality so they knew who he was personally. The feeling was that he was extremely vulnerable intellectually, and psychologically — and he was prone to flattery. This is what they exploited.”
They “played the game as if they were immensely impressed by his personality and believed this is the guy who should be the president of the United States one day.” https://www.huffpost.com/...a4bad34a5d3/amp
