NM should help make every presidential vote count
Reform the Presidential election system by passing the National Popular Vote bill. When states possessing 50%+1 of the electoral votes have passed the bill, presidential elections will go to the winner of the popular vote.
Why is this important?
It's time to throw the electoral college into the dustbin of history. We can do this without waiting for the obstructionists in Washington, D.C. to act by passing the National Popular Vote Bill. When states possessing a majority of the electoral votes have passed the bill, then those states will require their electors to cast their votes for the winner of the popular vote. This will put an end to the legislative scheming currently under way to apportion some state's electoral votes so that it favors the legislature's majority party. It will also put an end to the current campaign process where each side concentrates entirely on the "swing" states while ignoring states that are safely in either camp.
