National Popular Vote

Civic Minute · Mon May 18, 2026

Hi, I'm Denise, and this is your civic minute.

In the last presidential election, 94% of all campaign events happened in just 7 states.

That means the vast majority of Americans were completely ignored.

Whether you live in Texas, California, or 41 other states, candidates had no reason to

talk to you, listen to you, or fight for your vote.

Now Wisconsin happens to be one of those 7 states, so we get plenty of attention.

But is that fair?

We didn't earn it, and it means we're buried in political ads every 4 years, while most

of the country is shut out entirely.

The national popular vote would make every vote equal.

No more swing states, no more spectator states, 18 states have already signed on.

Wisconsin could be next.
