The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin is hosting a webinar series on the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, a bill that guarantees the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in the nation. 

Join the League for the second webinar in the series titled, “National Popular Vote: Dispelling the Partisan Myth” as Patrick Rosenstiel, senior consultant to the National Popular Vote campaign, explains why this bill would benefit us all--no matter your political beliefs! Watch the first webinar which introduces the National Popular Vote here. 

“This bill is essential to representative government,” said Debra Cronmiller, Executive Director of the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin. “And like any effort aiming to count every vote equally, the NPVIC is completely nonpartisan in nature.” 

On Wednesday, June 29, at 6:30pm, Patrick Rosenstiel, who is a nationally recognized figure in the world of public affairs, international relations, public relations, and market research, will lead the webinar. Rosenstiel has visited 45 states on behalf of National Popular Vote. You can register for the Zoom webinar here.
