It's normal to wish we could just find out results on the night of an election. 

But we're highly unlikely to know the results on election night — and that's good. It means our system is working as it should.

Even when they're stressful, debates are essential opportunities for the public to hear directly from the people vying for their votes. 

Voters deserve to hear what Governor Tim Walz and Senator JD Vance have to say about the biggest issues of the day, from the economy to abortion rights to foreign policy. 

And while they're listening, they deserve to have a little fun.

As we confront the challenges posed by the Electoral College and its implications for fair representation, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact stands as a beacon of hope for a more democratic electoral system, one that aligns with the core principles of equality and voter empowerment.
