re: This is one of the most exciting emails I've ever had the opportunity to send you. Please read it because I think you'll be excited too.

Friend, I'm one of the organizers here at Daily Kos working to pass the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact through state legislatures in key states, and I want to take a moment to show you just how close we are: - We have a good shot at passing the NPVIC into law in Maine, Nevada, and Oregon this year. That would bring us to 206 electoral votes—76 percent of the 270 we need to elect presidents via the popular vote, and just 64 votes shy of where we need to be. - We are fighting in Minnesota, like Chris said below, and it'll be close. It's our toughest state this year, but even if we come up short this year, Minnesota will be at the top of our list after the 2020 election. That's 10 more electoral votes. - Legislative elections in Virginia this year—where Democrats could gain control of both chambers—put the state at the top of our list for 2020. Virginia is a big state, with 13 electoral votes. - New Hampshire's governor is our biggest obstacle in that state right now, but if we can beat him in 2020 or 2022 (or if he retires), a new governor could bring us four more electoral votes. - Winning in all of the states above would bring us to 233 of 270 electoral votes. Intense Democratic enthusiasm in 2020 could put the Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania legislatures in play, and these three states would put over the top in 2021. [It's a big plan, with a lot of moving parts, and it will be a few years before we can see it through, but it's doable with your support. Can you chip in $5 a month in support of our campaign to elect our president via the popular vote?]( [Can't chip in monthly?

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.
