FairVote has been calling for a national popular vote for president for more than a decade, and the case has never been stronger. The current broken Electoral College system reduces campaigns to fewer than a dozen states and is now allowing partisans to attempt to hijack the presidency. In contrast to plans to divide electoral votes within states, the National Popular Vote is a nonpartisan plan that has support from across the political spectrum.

Our analysis on these partisan election-rigging plans has now been featured on both the Colbert Report and the Rachel Maddow Show. See:
