There is no movement to repeal and change those section of the Constitution that establishes the Electoral College as the means of choosing the President. There IS however a very strong movement called National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. As part of the Constitution amended a few times, is that the States decide how to divide up their EC delegation to Washington in December after the election. Using this fact about the Constitution, the States can decide that who ever wins the National popular vote, that their EC delegates be pledged to support the winner of this national popular vote. For this to work, states comprising delegations up to 270 EC votes have to do this. Right now there are states with 205 EC delegates have signed on.
There is actually a lot of literature on this, pro- and con- for the proposal. It IS an end-run around the Constitution's EC clauses but within the context of the Constitution itself, it is perfectly legal to do this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact David -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
