DWCMarco Monthly Meeting

The League of Women Voters actively supports the non-partisan National Popular Vote movement. The NPV law would instruct each state’s electors to vote for the Presidential candidate who captures the most votes in the entire United States, instead of state "winner take all" as now. NPV legislation works with the electoral college and does not require a constitutional amendment... The NPV law will take effect when enacted into law by states possessing 270 electoral votes (the number needed to elect the President). Currently, it has been signed into law by 17 state governors from both parties, representing 209 electoral votes, or 77% of the required amount. Once in effect, the NPV law will guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who wins the popular vote in the entire United States. It will ensure that every vote will be equal throughout the U.S., regardless of where you live, and that every vote, in every state, will matter in every presidential election. Join Suzanne Low, LWV of Collier County NPV leader, for this informative presentation.
