Jim Mowrer, the 2016 Democratic House candidate in Iowa's 3rd congressional district, launched Majority Rules PAC to encourage states to adopt an initiative that would circumvent the Electoral College in future presidential elections.
The website explains, "For the fifth time since our founding and the second time this century, the candidates who received the most votes lost the election for president."
A political ad released with the founding of the group explains that "the government isn't listening" to the majority of America and calls to fix our presidential elections.
According to Politico, the PAC will back candidates for office and ballot initiatives intended to support states' adoption of the "National Popular Vote" initiative – which has already been adopted in 10 states.
Mowrer will begin his effort by targeting Oregon and Connecticut as the next states to join the compact.
