Major campaign underway to nullify Electoral College

[Bojack Horseman]

And what State politician in his right mind is going to pass this?  No safe State is going to give the opposing party the chance to claim its electoral votes, and no swing State is going to want Presidential attention diffused away from it.  Possibly this might sneak in via a referendum in a few states, but not enough to reach the 270 electoral vote margin to make this work.

California has. So has Rhode Island, Vermont, Maryland, Washington, Illinois, New Jersey, Washington DC, Massachusetts, and Hawaii.

I might be able to support a popular vote but only if it were accomplished the intended way: A constitutional amendment. If I was a governor and this bill hit my desk, I'd veto it. I think that's an abuse of the federalist idea of giving the states the right to dole out their electoral votes however they choose.
