SB 37, the California National Popular Vote Plan bill, will not be brought up in the Assembly until next year. California legislative sessions last for two years, so the bill won’t need to start all over again. It passed the Senate several months ago. The sponsors feel that the controversy over a proposed Republican-backed initiative, to give each U.S. House district its own elector, will have been resolved one way or another by 2008, and the choices will be clearer for decisions about the electoral college.
