Alabama Bill to Split Electoral Votes Proportionally Passes Committee

On April 25, the Alabama House Constitution & Elections Committee passed HB 407. It says that the state’s presidential electors shall be elected proportionately. Alabama currently has 9 electoral votes. If the bill had been in effect in 2004, it would have meant that President Bush would have received 6 electoral votes and Senator Kerry would have received 3 electoral votes (based on the popular vote percentages for each).
