There's a national push for voters to elect the U.S. vice president separately from the president.
Vice.run, is a campaign that seeks to create a separate and independent ballot line for the vice president in 2020. The group is trying to collect -- from all 50 states -- voter signatures and pledges in support of the separate vice president election.
"An independently-elected vice president would give American voters a new level of direct control over who serves in the White House," Vice.run says on its website."Further, a separately-elected vice president could provide a moderating influence on the partisanship of the president." The founder of Vice.run David Blake announced on Twitter earlier this month that Utah became the first state to reach the signature pledges goal since launching their website in March.
You did it, Utah! Thanks to your efforts, we now have our first state with enough pledges to get ballot access for an independently elected Vice President. #electthevp pic.twitter.com/L5RNed6ncQ Traditionally, presidential candidates and their running mates are listed on a ballot together, with voters selecting a joint ticket on Election Day. However, in the first U.S. elections, the vice president got into office by securing the second-highest number of Electoral College votes.
