States to amend their election law
Shane Gerhold
The proposed national popular vote plan aims to reform the electoral college by ensuring that the candidate who wins the popular vote nationally becomes the president. Under this plan, participating states would award their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, regardless of the outcome within their own state. This would effectively guarantee that the candidate with the most votes overall would be elected president.

How would the National Popular Vote bill change current Electoral College?
When states with a combined total of at least 270 electoral votes enact the bill, the candidate with the most popular votes in all 50 states and DC would get the needed majority of 270+ electoral votes from the enacting states. The bill would thus guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes and the majority of Electoral College votes.
