The Corner told me about this:
AntiâElectoral College forces achieved a significant victory today. The state senate in elector-rich California has voted to join the controversial National Popular Vote movement...Gov. Jerry Brown is expected to sign the bill and make California the ninth entity to join NPV.
To date, seven states plus D.C. (for a total of 77 electors) have agreed to NPVâs plan. Californiaâs participation would provide a giant boost, bringing the new total to 132 electors â nearly halfway to the 270 electors needed to essentially eliminate the Electoral College.
This stuff is important: If the presidency was determined by popular vote in 2000, we'd probably be living in a very different United States right now. What do you think?
