OH Supporters of National Popular Vote Will Try to Get Initiative on Ballot

Thanks to Richard Winger of Ballot Access News for this post.



The National Popular Vote Bill would Guarantee the Presidency to the Candidate who Receives the Most Popular Votes in All 50 States and the District of Columbia. To do this, you need enough States with 270 Electoral Votes to Send their Electors to the Electoral College.

It has been Enacted into Law in 15 States and D.C. with 189 Electoral Votes are: CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, HI, IL, MA, MD, NJ, NM, NY, RI, VT, and WA.

Then we'll just need 81 more Votes before it takes effect.

Supporters of the National Popular Vote Plan will attempt to get an Initiative on the Ohio Ballot, that would result in Ohio joining the Pact if the Voters Approve.

Besides Ohio, other States that have the Statewide Initiative Process but which have Not Joined the Compact yet are: AK, AR, AZ, FL, ID, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NE, ND, OR, SD, UT, and WY.
