Interesting Presidential Election Technique
September 21st, 2006
A legal way around the electoral college? Dr. John Koza has found a Constitutionally-compliant way to ensure that the winner of the popular vote would win the election. It’s focused on pledges.
As the article mentions
Dr. Koza’s compact, if approved by enough legislatures, would commit a state’s electors to vote for the candidate who wins the most national votes, even if the candidate loses in that state.
I still haven’t thought about it enough to know how I feel about the idea. I’ll let you know after I’ve figured it out.
