Imagine a country where only those in the big cities picked the president, a country where rural and middle America had virtually no voice. Sound like a nightmare? A well-funded campaign from the left, is 72% of the way to making that nightmare real.
It's no secret why progressives are pushing the national popular vote. It's an obvious end run around our constitutional system of electing presidents via votes by states.

I encourage you to listen to what our partners at Save Our States have to say on the matter.
