Land doesn’t vote.

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. It has been enacted into law by 17 states and DC with 209 electoral votes. It needs an additional 61 electoral votes to go into effect.

Yeah but the people who own land matter more. The 17 that passed this are probably not the 100% red states here so this is gonna go nowhere

It won’t matter if those who enacted total more than 50% of the electoral votes.

As of April 15, 2024, the National Popular Vote bill has been enacted into law in 18 jurisdictions possessing 209 electoral votes, including

6 small jurisdictions (District of Columbia, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont), 9 medium-sized states (Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington), and 3 big states (California, Illinois, New York)

I wonder which states would be the most reasonable choices to get the extra 61
