| Description | For the second time in nine months, the state Senate has approved legislation that attempts to circumvent the Electoral College.
But the bill approved Monday could be headed for another veto by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The measure, by Sen. Carole Migden, D-San Francisco, would ratify an interstate compact under which states would agree to award their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, regardless of the preferences of their own voters.
The compact would take effect only if enough states — those with a majority of votes in the Electoral College — agreed to its terms. |
