National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

 

 And as promised yesterday, here is the solution:

Thanks to Stanford University Professor and computer scientist Dr. John R. Koza, there is a simple yet elegant work around to article 2 of the Constitution that will allow the popular vote to prevail and that is an agreement known as the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact between states to cast their electoral college votes not for the presidential candidate who won in each respective state but to pledge their votes for the candidate who wins the national popular vote in excess of the 270 votes needed to win the election. So far 19 states possessing 215 votes have signed on to the compact and all that is needed is for states who possess the remaining 55 votes to join in order to guarantee that the candidate who wins the popular vote will also win sufficient electoral votes to win the presidency. If you live in a state which has not signed on to the compact, I beseech you to work in your state to get these needed remaining votes.

I have allowed you a link entitled National Popular Vote so you can read about this in more detail and see if your state has signed on or not.
