State Legislature
Resolution
Whereas the Electoral College gives
disproportionate voting power to voters in some states over others,
Whereas the Electoral College is not
guaranteed to reinforce popular will,
Whereas electors are uncontrollable as free
agents which creates the potential for backroom deals,
Whereas the Electoral College reduces
national elections to the outcomes of only a few state contests,
Whereas a small shift of votes in a single
state can decide the Presidency in the event of close elections,
Whereas the original reasons for its
inception have been alleviated by other means, and
Whereas direct election of our political
leaders is well-tested and encourages candidate to seek votes from
all citizens,
The people of the state of ____________,
represented in senate and assembly, do propose as follows:
That the legislature of the state of ____________
urges the Congress of the United States of America to pass a
Constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College and
replace it with the direct election of the President of the United
States of America. In
such a case that the Congress passes such an amendment, this state
resolves to conduct floor votes within two years of Congressional
passage.
