Oregon will get a seat at the table for a conversation on how the nation elects presidents, represented by none other than Secretary of State Shemia Fagan, the state s top elections official.
Fagan, a Democrat and former state lawmaker, will advise the National Popular Vote, a nonprofit behind a bipartisan movement to amend the U.S. Constitution allowing voters to elect the president through a popular vote.
Since its inception, the nation has elected presidents through the Electoral College, as written in the U.S. Constitution, which awards states electoral votes based on the number of lawmakers who represent them in the U.S. House and Senate.
That’s incorrect. Legislatures can determine on what basis they allocate electoral votes. It could be based on a roll of the dice or if a gopher sees his shadow. They could play a game of hoops to settle it. Or, for example, on the basis of the national popular vote. 100 percent up to each state legislature.
As for Joe’s question. The reason is probably that the npv organization isn’t much of an organization and lacks much in the way of lists or finances. It doesn’t take much money or membership to do legislative lobbying. But it does to qualify an initiative and wage the pr campaign to pass it. The wiki article on npv says they tried in a few states and failed. That indicated they probably tried to do it with volunteers or below market pay rates on signatures.
