7:50Now Playing"The path to 270" is the catch phrase used in media coverage of who will win the Electoral College, which raises the questionWill everyone’s vote count equally in determining the next president of the United States? Some analysts argue the 2016 election will come down to the same 11 states that decided the most recent presidential contests. Meanwhile, twothirds of the general election campaign events in the 2016 presidential race were held in just six states. We discuss campaigns for electoral reform with Rob Richie, cofounder and executive director of the electoral reform organization FairVote. He is coauthor of "Every Vote EqualA StateBased Plan for Electing the President by National Popular Vote."
