Ask candidates for NC General Assembly if they will support North Carolina joining the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Tell them you want the President to always be the candidate who gets the most votes when you add up all the votes in all 50 states and DC.

Under the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, no voter will have their vote cancelled out at the state-level because their choice differed from majority in their state. Every voter’s vote will be added directly into the national count for the candidate of their choice.

An argument for the Electoral College is it provides a strong sense of state identity when we vote for President of the UNITED States of America. We vote for President. This defies logic. We vote as Americans not North Carolinians. The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact recognizes this.

When people run for an election they expect that if they get the most votes they will win. There are over 500,000 elected offices in the US that work that way. For President/Vice President– that is not the case. We need the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact to fix this. NC should join!

I remember, as a child, tagging along with my parents as they entered a voting booth. It was a triumphant feeling the first time I got to bring my own kids along with me to vote. Because my parents took voting seriously, I do too - being 'a voter' is a part of my identity as an adult. James Fisher

In creating our Constitution southern states insisted that 3/5ths of the slave population be counted in the census, increasing the number of Congressional districts & Electoral College votes for the south. The National Popular Vote is the first step in the LWV goal to abolish the Electoral College.

In the 1950s my mother took me with her to vote. She let me pull the curtain & explained the levers, including the “straight ticket." She said “We don’t have to use those; we can decide for ourselves”. I’ve been deciding for myself ever since. Marshall Fisher, Member LWV Asheville-Buncombe County

The first election I remember is 1960 (Kennedy-Nixon) and standing in line with my mother as she waiting to vote. The line snaked back and forth in a school gymnasium; to my sister and Iit seemed to take forever. But it was a good lesson in the importance of voting. Suzanne Fisher, President LWVAB

States & other countries have used the US Constitution as a model in developing their own. They do not include the Electoral College as one of the components as they recognize the short comings. We should learn a lesson. States can fix this by joining the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

Had less than the home game crowd at an Ohio State football game changed their votes, Ohio would have made John Kerry the 44th president even though he did not win the popular vote. We need the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact to make sure that we do not have another second place President.

In 6 presidential elections of the 21st century, there have been numerous plausible combinations of states that could produce an Electoral College tie. A candidate who lost the national popular vote could win the presidency in a one-state-one-vote election in the U.S. House. NPV would prevent this.

We have made many changes in how we vote for president over the years. • 1888 first time all states used winner take all. • 17 states plus DC have agreed to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The next step should be to enact the National Popular Interstate Compact. NC should join.
