Recording Link:  The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact - How to Ensure Every Vote Counts in a Presidential Election

Did you know that the President of the United States and the Vice President of the United States are the only two federally elected positions NOT elected by popular vote?  The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact would eliminate the "winner-take-all" practice prevalent in most states.  This legislation works within the framework of the U.S. Constitution.  The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact would remedy the pitfalls of the Electoral College without the need for a constitutional amendment.
