Electoral College Changes
Since Clinton beat Trump by over two million votes and yet lost the Electoral College vote, there has been a lot of discussion about doing away with the Electoral Collage.
In 2007 Maryland became the first state to enter into the “Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote”. The agreement would award Maryland's 10 electoral votes to the national popular vote winner. The plan will only take effect if states representing a majority of the nation's 538 electoral votes decided to make the same change.
National Popular Vote Bill
HB 148/SB 634 - 2007 Legislative Session
- This bill establishes Maryland as a member of the “Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote,” in which Maryland would commit its presidential electors to the national popular vote winner in a presidential election.
- This agreement takes effect once a majority of the electoral votes have been committed to the national popular vote.
- Similar versions of this bill have been enacted by 11 jurisdictions (10 states and the District of Colombia) possessing 165 electoral votes—61% of the 270 electoral votes necessary to activate it, including four small jurisdictions (RI, VT, HI, DC), three medium- size states (MD, MA, WA), and four big states (NJ, IL, NY, CA).
- Maryland became to first state to agree to follow the national popular vote when Governor O’Malley signed HB 148 on April 10th, 2007.
