Election Reform

Many of the states have for years been working on their own plan called the National Popular Vote.

The National Popular Vote interstate compact would not take effect until enacted by states possessing a majority of the electoral votes—that is, enough to elect a President (270 of 538). Under the compact, the winner would be the candidate who received the most popular votes from all 50 states (and DC) on Election Day. When the Electoral College meets in mid-December, the national popular vote winner would receive all of the electoral votes of the enacting states.


I think there are problems with this scheme... that there will be a massive outcry when citizens of a state that vote for X find their state electors all going for Y.
