New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine is likely to sign A4225 on Saturday, January 12. This is the National Popular Vote Plan bill. This will make New Jersey the 2nd state to have passed the plan. It doesn’t take effect unless or until states comprising a majority of votes in the Electoral College have passed it. The first state to pass the plan was Maryland.
This is another step in the right direction. The great majority of Americans rightfully want to eliminate the Electoral College. They believe that the candidate winning the most votes should win the presidential election. What a concept! New Jersey’s action should be supported by all progressives.
