Votes at Stake: Proposal would change voting system
RALEIGH (Winston-Salem Journal) - Legislators in North Carolina, and other states across the country, are taking a look at changing the way voters elect a president.
Under a bill approved by the N.C. Senate last month, North Carolina’s 15 votes in the Electoral College would go to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote instead of the winner of the North Carolina vote. The change would take effect only if enough other states pass similar bills.
The bill is part of a small but growing national movement to make sure that the candidate who gets the most votes nationwide wins the White House.
