       Electoral College Opponents Attempt to Have It Both WaysNevada’s state Senate approved National Popular Vote legislation on Tuesday. The measure is now awaiting approval from Gov. Steve Sisolak, a Democrat.The governor’s signature will add Nevada to a growing movement to ditch the Electoral College. Worse, Maine and Oregon could be close behind: National Popular Vote’s plan has already been approved by both states’ senates.

       Straightforward change has proven difficult, so they resort to dishonest tricks: In Minnesota, National Popular Vote’s compact was hidden in an elections omnibus bill. That didn’t work, so it was hidden, again, in an appropriations bill.

       @Rosanna Geez, I dont know..COMMENTARY The Constitution provides that America’s state-by-state presidential election system cannot be changed without the consent of three-quarters of the states (38).National Popular Vote seeks an end run around this process. It wants states to sign a simple interstate compact instead.

       @Rosanna By the terms of that agreement, states agree to give their presidential electors to the winner of the national popular vote, regardless of the outcome within a state’s borders. The compact goes into effect when states holding 270 electors (enough to win the presidency) have signed on.

       @Dawnz I would think the states who do not agree will fight it as a direct challenge to the constitution.
