Progress

Further information: National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

Within the first several months of its 2006 launch and media campaign, National Popular Vote's proposal began to make progress in various state legislatures. Early action occurred both in large Democratic strongholds California, New York, and Illinois, as well as in medium sized swing states such as Colorado, Missouri, and Louisiana.

Some have speculated that the organization is being poorly advised and lacks the political strategy to successfully pass the initiative in state legislatures. Particularly, the organization has failed to garner Republican support for the proposal given the Republican National Committee's formal declaration of opposition.
