A President Of the People, By the People and For the People: The National Popular Vote Plan for Electing the President

Portland Lawyers Chapter

Speakers: 

  • Dr. John R. Koza, Chairman, National Popular Vote
  • Trent England, Vice President for Strategic Initiatives, Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs

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. 
 
The bill has been enacted by 11 jurisdictions possessing 165 electoral votes—61% of the 270 electoral votes necessary to activate it, including four small jurisdictions (RI, VT, HI, DC), three medium-size states (MD, MA, WA), and four big states (NJ, IL, NY, CA). The bill has passed a total of 33 legislative chambers in 22 states—most recently by a bipartisan 28–18 vote in the Oklahoma Senate, a 57–4 vote in New York Senate, and a 102–33 vote in NY Assembly.
