    Bill to elect president by popular vote winner introduced to Nevada Assembly

    I like this proposal a lot. How about you guys?

    http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/po...duced-assembly

    Assembly Bill 274 by Assemblyman Nelson Araujo, D-Las Vegas, would enact the “Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote.”
    The bill would make the electors identified with the president and vice president who win the national popular vote the official presidential electors for each state. The provisions of the bill would become effective on the date that states with enough electoral votes to constitute a majority of the electoral votes, 270 of 538, adopt the agreement.

    The bill has been enacted by 11 jurisdictions possessing 165 electoral votes—61 percent of the 270 electoral votes necessary to activate it.

    Lets not forget the Repubs control 69 out of 99 State Legislatures. So after the Demos have shot their wad with the 30 they have. They still wont have enough.

    Back to the Constitutional Amendment drawing board, Right?

    This isn't a federal attempt at a constitutional amendment.

    No. The states should have equal representation and say in the election of the president. Any other way is considered mob rule.

    How does that change up the only 30 state legislatures the Demos have, and still not being able to change the Electoral College? Moreover the Repubs, control 34 Governorships.

    I do not like it and question it's constitutionality.
