Below is a 50 minute google experience of the entire workshop held at the GP-US Annual National Meeting and Convention in Chicago. If you are a presidential elector, you should consider joining the suit. Anyone watching will think about the Electoral College and the 14th Amendment in a new way. If you are from D.C., Asa Gordon has a new argument to help you in any, federal lawsuit. Asa Gordon is brilliant.

To make every vote in every state politically relevant and equal in presidential elections, support the National Popular Vote bill.
The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states (and DC). The bill would take effect only when enacted by states possessing a majority of the electoral votes (270 of 538). When the bill comes into effect, all the electoral votes from those states would be awarded to the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states (and DC).
The National Popular Vote bill has been approved by 21 legislative chambers (one house in CO, AR, ME, NC, and WA, and two houses in MD, IL, HI, CA, MA, NJ, RI, and VT). It has been enacted into law in Hawaii, Illinois, New Jersey, and Maryland. These states have 50 (19%) of the 270 electoral votes needed to bring this legislation into effect.
