National Popular Vote Interstate Compact Bill Introduced 

An important bill was introduced in the Wisconsin Legislature to ensure everyone’s vote for president will count, guaranteeing the presidency to the candidate who wins the most votes nationwide.
 
Currently, Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes do not go to the national popular vote winner, but to the winner of the popular vote in the state. Votes for the second-place candidate, even in a close race and even if they are for the national popular vote winner, are ignored. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact will fix that. 
 
The League of Women Voters believes that the direct popular vote method for electing the president is essential to representative government.  Every person’s vote should count equally.
 
The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin is excited to invite you to join us in learning about the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact on May 12 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Joining us in this discussion is Eileen Reavey, the grassroots director for the nonprofit organization, National Popular Vote; Representative Gary Hebl, who will discuss the bill’s progress in the Wisconsin Legislature; and Dr. Barbara Klein, who will tell us about the history of LWVUS' support of the National Popular Vote and the work of its task force.
