@rickhasen My 8th graders have a question: Possible 4 states 2change their electoral vote system to proportional instead of winner take all?
-
Under Article II of the Constitution, each state legislature chooses rules for picking electors in that state
probably it could be done through a voter initiative. But it would be for each state. But...
-
-
there ' a proposal to make each state agree to be bound by winner of national popular vote. Google "national popular vote"
-
not clear if National Popular Vote is constitutional.
-
so we would need an amendment - and smaller pop states wouldn't go for it, right?
-
it could be done state by state, but states don't have incentive to do it. And amendment is HARD
