Want to elect presidents via the national popular vote? We're shockingly close to doing just that. Here's how:

Friend, I have an incredible update to my email from March: - First, the good news: The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC)--which would automatically make whoever won the national popular vote the winner of the Electoral College--has been signed into law in New Mexico and Delaware. Together with Colorado, three new states have joined the NPVIC so far this year, bringing us to 189 electoral votes—70 percent of the way to victory! - Now, the other good news: Maine, Minnesota, Nevada and Oregon have all taken legislative action on the NPVIC in recent weeks, and we have a good chance to get it passed into law in all of these states this spring. (Minnesota will be our most difficult state, but we weren't even expecting to have a shot there until 2021, so that we're fighting there at all is excellent news!) - What it all means: Winning in all four of these states would get us 216 electoral votes, with several more states on the table in 2020, 2021 and 2022. As impossible as this once sounded, friend, we are on track to elect a president via the national popular vote in 2024. [This is a long-term campaign to reform the Electoral College. Succeeding here would be one of the most powerful electoral reforms in American history, and we can make it happen.

I laid out a roadmap to victory in my last email, showing how we think we can get the 270 votes we need by 2022. I've included it below so you can see our path to victory. (As you can see, Minnesota is way ahead of schedule!) --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, the movement to elect the president by national popular vote is really gaining momentum. There were three huge victories last week: The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) was just signed into law in Colorado! And NPVIC legislation was passed in the New Mexico state Senate and the Delaware state House. Both bills are now headed for their respective governors' desks to be signed. With NPVIC passing in Colorado and the governors of New Mexico and Delaware expected to sign their respective bills, we are pouring our grassroots activism into more states. [It's important that we continue to invest in this long-term campaign to reform the Electoral College and elect our presidents by national popular vote. Can you help by giving $5 a month until we get it done?]( [Can't make a monthly contribution?

Here's the path forward: - For the remainder of 2019, we will focus our resources on Maine and Nevada. Thousands from the Daily Kos community have stepped up to make calls and send letters to their state legislators to pass the NPVIC. - Oregon is our top priority in 2020, where bills have already been introduced and there has been growing support since the 2016 election. - Virginia could be a major target in 2020 as well, as Democrats may take back the legislature this fall, making passing the NPVIC bills more likely. - In 2021-2022, possible Democratic victories in the 2020 elections could put Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina on the map. If we can stick to this plan and win, states totaling more than 270 electoral votes will have joined the compact, and we could elect a president via the national popular vote as soon as 2024! [Like we have said this will be long, grueling campaign. However, our consistent victories and overwhelming grassroots support make me optimistic that we can reform the Electoral College and begin electing presidents by national popular vote.
