Hawaii Governor Vetoes National Popular Vote Plan

On August 23, Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle, a Republican, vetoed SB 1956. It would have provided that Hawaii join the proposed compact of states that would appoint presidential electors pledged to the presidential candidate who got the most popular votes nationwide.

It is conceivable that the legislature will override her veto.
