Perhaps  if no candidate receives a majority of the electoral vote then, 
instead of  the current system or the national popular vote system, there 
should be a  choice of the President either by a joint session of Congress or by 
vote of  the House (with each member having one vote).


The  possibility of having winners with only plurality backing is a 
shortcoming  both of the procedures specified in  the Constitution and of the 
National Popular Vote compact as currently  proposed.  

One way to fix this shortcoming would be to give each  ticket (set of 
Pres&VP candidates) its popular vote strength, expressed as  a percentage, and 
let the tickets negotiate until a coalition emerges with  greater than 50%.  
Rules could then require that the top vote-getting  ticket in that coalition 
wins.  Or the rules could let that coalition  decide (A) which ticket wins 
or (B) which combination of Pres & VP  candidates from among the tickets 
wins.  - dah

Much  of this discussion has moved past Rob’s initial email, but I will 
take a  moment to defend myself on a few points. And then I am sorry to tell 
you  guys that I am unlikely to keep up with this string any longer. I am off 
to  the much more cheery task of spending the afternoon with my daughter -- 
her  school’s holiday party starts in half an hour.  :) 
I  did not say that the Electoral College was the only factor at play in 
the  late 1800s.  I said it was one factor. But the more important point  that 
Rob is working mightily to avoid is this: The identity of safe and  swing 
states is constantly changing.  That stark divide between north  and south no 
longer exists, and I do not believe that today’s divide between  
coast/flyover states will persist forever, either.  At the end of the  day, when safe 
states feel ignored by candidates and their platforms, they  switch to 
another party. It is not all about how much money is spent on  bumper stickers 
and campaign commercials. 
Missed  the significance of Duverger’s law?  To the contrary, it is partly  
because of Duverger’s law that the Electoral College (in combination with  
the winner-take-all system) supports a stable two-party system in this  
country.  The question is not whether the two-party system is  reinforced by the 
Electoral College. Clearly, it is. The question is whether  a system can be 
devised whereby the Electoral College is eliminated but our  stable 
two-party system remains. 
NPV  supporters, by the way, like to talk out of both sides of their mouths 
on  this issue.  In settings such as this one, they claim that the  
two-party system will not be undermined if we get rid of the Electoral  College.  
Then they turn around and recruit Tea Party members to their  cause, arguing 
that NPV will allow third parties to have a greater impact on  presidential 
campaigns.  Well, which is it? 
Merry  Christmas and Happy Hanukkah, everyone!  I look forward to more  
discussions in 2012.

So, just so I have this straight: 
 

 
* Jim Bopp thinks that having more voters matter only is  of interest to 
self-interested consultants. To him it's irrelevant that  Barack Obama can run 
for re-election without his campaign having to worry  for a second about 
the views of voters in the ten smallest states (e.g, he  has no primary 
challenge, and none of the ten smallest states is on anyone's  2012 battleground 
list - they won't matter to the Republican nominee come  this fall either). 
Apparently the power to hold one's elected  representatives accountable is a 
kind of distraction from the main purpose,  which is the magic of swing 
states being able to elect better presidents  than the nation could as a whole.
 

 
* Tara Ross believes that the Electoral College caused  the differences 
between the North and South to "melt away." Never mind that,  due to deals over 
electors, Rutherford Hayes in 1877 cravenly entered a  corrupt deal that 
effectively ended Reconstruction, leading to Jim Crow laws  and Democratic 
one-party dominance of the South for nearly a century. Never  mind that with 
the winner-take-all rule, there is absolutely no incentive to  compete in 
states you can't win, as opposed to a national popular vote where  there's an 
incentive to compete everywhere you can win  votes.
 

 
* Tara thinks that the Electoral College is key to  maintaining the 
two;party system, perhaps having missed the significance of  Duverger's Law and the 
lack of rampant multi-partism in all the states that  hold their elections 
without an Electoral College  system.
 

 
Sorry if a bit snippy  - I'll ascribe it to watching  two hours of the 
presidential debate tonight.

But  a Democrat in the late 1800s has a significantly harder time getting

productive and efficient if he simply seeks to drive up voter turnout in the  
South. Why bend over backwards to get the vote of someone outside your base  
when you can simply promise more to voters who are naturally inclined to  like 
you?  It is much easier to promise anything and everything to your  natural 
base so they will come out in droves on election day.  High  voter turnout 
among your base, not coalition-building, wins this type of  election.   
I  should also note, by way of background, that I never assume that the  
two-party system will remain stable without the Electoral College.  A  
multi-party system is less conducive to coalition-building as a general  matter; it 
instead tends to fracture voters across parties.

This is not my issue, but I don't see how you can credit the  Electoral 
College, as opposed to a popular-vote alternative, for encouraging  the 
post-Civil-War division between North and South to melt away.  Sure, Democrats had 
to reach out to northerners, but they would have  needed to do so under a 
popular-vote plan, too.   Indeed, one might  argue that they would have had to 
do so sooner, because each person's vote  in the cities of the North would 
have counted as much as each person's vote  in the rural South, but this 
isn't my area.  Whatever the electoral  system, if a party finds itself 
persistently losing elections, it will  eventually decide it has to reach beyond 
its then-current base.  I  don't see how this is a unique feature of the 
Electoral  College.

Yes,  elections are about selecting the best President, not about making 
sure  every citizen sees every presidential candidate exactly the same number 
of  times as his fellow citizens.  But assuming, arguendo, that such stats  
do matter, the “swing state” situation is not nearly as dire as Rob  
suggests.  We are in a moment in time when this particular division  between red 
and blue states—blue coasts/red flyover states—seems impossible  to change. 
But I would suggest that the north/south division between red and  blue 
states must have seemed similarly unalterable in the late 1800s. In the  end, of 
course, it did change. And I would argue that the Electoral College  
actually encouraged this division between north and south to melt  away.  
Democrats couldn’t win without reaching out to northerners;  Republicans were 
cutting it close if they relied only on safe states; thus,  they reached out to 
southerners.  Eventually, the same dynamics should  work to erase the 
seemingly stubborn division between red and blue  today.

Unless  you are a political consultant looking for work in a particular 
state, why  would you care that "Those small states collectively received a 
grand  total of one campaign visit from a major party candidate for president 
and  vice-president in the final two months of the 2008 campaign."   
Presidential elections are not about where candidates campaign but  about electing 
the best President. But since many of the  supporters of NPV, especially on 
the Republican side, are political  consultants paid by NPV, they find this 
argument persuasive.  I find it  irrelevant.  Jim Bopp

Brad, 
 
 


 
A  lot of NPV advocates believe the candidate with fewer votes shouldn't 
beat  someone with more votes, but see the more pressing problem to be the  
grotesque distortion of candidate behavior and White House policy focus  that 
is created by the current Electoral College rules.

There's  compelling evidence of a deadly combination: a shrinking of the 
number of  swing states and the hardening of the definition of what is a swing 
state.  Some folks questioned FairVote's 2008 analysis concluding that the 
number  of swing states going into 2012 was going to be smaller than ever, 
but I  trust no one is questioning it now. We were right -- analysts like 
Larry  Sabato now talk about fewer than 10 swing states likely to determine the 
 2012 election, just as we explained after the 2008 results came  in.

You can take it to the bank right now that this will have an  impact on 
turnout in swing states versus others Furthermore, if the Obama  campaign acts 
like the Bush re-election campaign in 2004 - and all  indications are that 
they will -- then they won't waste a dime on polling  a single person living 
outside of the swing states. Bush campaign  strategist Matthew Dowd said the 
campaign didn't poll anyone outside a  potential battleground for the final 
30 months of the 2004 campaign, which  of course influenced a lot of what 
the campaign did in policy proposals at  the same time the president was 
tasked with governing the nation as a  whole.
 
 
This  dynamic unavoidably has a policy impact. Perhaps the most revealing  
insight into distortions created by the current rules came from candid  
remarks from former U.S. Senator Arlen Specter this fall. Specter  represented 
Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate for three decades, and he saw  a lot of 
presidents come and go - -and come and go .....and come and  go.... as he 
represented a big swing state. Check out this blogpost by my  colleague Katie Kelly 
reporting on what Specter said, with some sample  quotes from Specter:

 
 


 
 
 
_http://www.fairvote.org/arlen-specter-extra-money-for-swing-state-status_ 
(http://www.fairvote.org/arlen-specter-extra-money-for-swing-state-status#.Tu
p3UTVAaRg) 

 
 

“I  think it’d be very bad for Pennsylvania because we wouldn’t attract  
attention from Washington on important funding projects for the state. We  
are trying to get more funding now for the deepening of the port [of  
Philadelphia]. When I was on the Appropriations Committee, we got $77  million over 
the years …We are trying to get the president to do  more."

 
 


 
 
“Under  the current electoral system, [President] Obama has good reason to 
give us  the money to carry Pennsylvania. Because presidents think that way, 
it  affects their decisions. … In 2004, when I ran with [President George 
W.]  Bush, he … came to Pennsylvania 44 times, and he was looking for items 
the  state needed to help him win the state. … It’s undesirable to change 
the  system so presidents won’t be asking us always for what we need, what 
they  can do for us.”


 
 

I  find it hard to believe the founding fathers, if suddenly in our midst,  
would accept keeping rules that make a Pennsylvania citizen so much more  
important than a citizen in our ten smallest states. Those small states  
collectively received a grand total of one campaign visit from a major  party 
candidate for president and vice-president in the final two months  of the 
2008 campaign. Just as striking, the single swing state of Ohio had  far more 
campaign events in the final two months of the campaign then  _combined__ 
number of events in the smallest 25  states.

 
 


 
 
Unlike  many folks today, the founders were not afraid of change. They 
weren't  afraid of fixing things that didn't work. They certainly weren't afraid 
of  fixing the first version of the Electoral College, with the failures of 
 1796 and 1800 leading to the 12th amendment. Rather than accept the  
consequences of the winner-take-all rule, I'm sure they would want to do  
something about it. Based on what James Madison thought about presidential  
elections, I believe they'd back a national popular  vote.

 
 

Of  course they're not around, so it's up to us. But certainly a lot of us  
think there's a very strong case to be made against the status quo --  
certainly one that we can base in facts, while I see nearly all opposition  
arguments being grounded in sentiment and  fear.

I  think that Richard’s comment actually gets at a key point that 
undermines  much of the case for NPV. There are many arguments for NPV, but the key  
one is that direct popular vote is either the only or at least the most  
legitimate way to select the president.  Every poll shows that  substantial 
majorities agree.
 

 
Yet  oddly enough, nobody really much cares that we routinely elect 
executives  without popular majorities. And despite the fact that many leading  
proponents of NPV say we should use popular vote because “the president  should 
be chosen by a majority of our citizens” (Birch Bayh, in Kaza et  al. Every 
Vote Equal, at xxii), or because “majority rule [is] a  fundamental tenant 
of our democracy (John Anderson, Kaza et al at xviii)  in fact, as Richard 
points out, NPV doesn’t do what Senator Birch says he  wants and what Rep. 
Anderson says is  “fundamental.”
 

 
Those  of us who understand elections also understand that there are 
numerous  ways to hold elections, and we know that huge numbers of elections are  
held in both private and public organizations that violate the majority  
rules concept – or even the plurality rules. Moreover, we know that voting  
procedures frequently place limits on majority opinion, the most obvious  
perhaps being super-majority requirements.
 

 
I  don’t see any reason why having a president who did not receive a 
national  plurality (let alone a national majority) is more inherently  more  
disturbing than having a House or a Senate whose majority did not receive  a 
majority or even a plurality of votes, or a speaker of the House or  Leader of 
the Senate who was elected by members representing less than a  majority or 
even a plurality.
 

 
And  there seems to be little reason to believe that the American people 
are  particularly worked up about it either. Richard points out that we  
routinely elect executives who had more people vote against than for them  – 
sometimes by quite substantial margins. Yet they do not face a crisis of  
legitimacy.
 

 
In  my observation, despite what they say when a single, out of context  
question is posed to them in a poll, people are much more attuned to  
following what seem to be reasonably fair, agreed upon rules in advance,  rather 
than insisting that only one rule (majority or plurality rule) can  ever be 
fair; majorities quite routinely accede to the desires of  minorities; voting 
systems are quite routinely established to deny  majority – let alone 
plurality – victory. By the same token, people are  happy, in many cases, to accept 
plurality winners – so much so that  Messrs. Bayh, Anderson, and others 
toss around the term “majority” when  they appear to mean “plurality” without 
even thinking much about  it.
 

 
If  we are to believe many NPV supporters, there should have been a 
national  uproar after the 2000 election. Well, to some extent there was – but it  
was not over the electoral college. At all times very substantial  
majorities seemed quite content with the knowledge that the Florida winner  would 
claim the presidency. Efforts to abolish or change the electoral  college – 
including NPV – remained the hobby horses of a small number of  well-financed 
good-government groupies, not any kind of mass  movement.
 

 
In  short, we live in a country that is clearly dedicated to popular rule, 
but  within the rule of law, and with popular not always – in fact perhaps  
surprisingly rarely – defined as majority or even plurality vote at any  
given moment.
 

 
As  a result, NPV proponents seem to constantly assuming what they ought to 
be  proving – that NPV actually would result in better governance, or truly 
is  more “fair” – once we define fair, and get beyond the facile 
proclamations  such as those found in the movement’s magnum opus, Every Vote Equal.  
Here, I think that the case that has been made for effectively  abolishing 
the electoral college is exceedingly weak, based more on horror  stories of 
improbable counterfactual scenarios and presumed but not  particularly 
probable reactions of the public to those  scenarios.
 

 
Conversely,  those who would defend the Electoral College need not defend 
the process  for choosing a president in the House of Representatives, though 
I believe  it can be defended – rather, they need to defend the Electoral 
College  system as a whole against NPV, because it is the Electoral College 
that  NPV seeks to effectively abolish, not just the House of Representatives 
 contingency. That’s not that hard, if only because NPV supporters have  
done so little to show that NPV would result in better presidents or  better 
government.

I don't believe we should be so frightened of the  idea that a winning 
presidential candidate might have received only  40% of the total popular vote.  
45 of the 50 states elect their  Governors like that.  Whoever gets the 
most votes wins,  period.  Louisiana, Washington, California and Georgia force 
a  majority vote by having a round with only two candidates on the  ballot, 
and Vermont lets the legislature choose when no one gets a  majority for 
Governor.  In the other 45 states, a winning  gubernatorial candidate just 
needs more votes than anyone  else.

The lowest share of the popular vote any winning  gubernatorial candidate 
ever got in the last 170 years was in  Washington state in 1912, when the 
Democratic nominee, Ernest  Lister, won with only 30.6% of the popular vote.  
In that  election, the Republican nominee got 30.4% and the Progressive  
nominee got 24.4%.

In  such a case, would we really want the national plurality vote winner  
(perhaps with 40% of the vote) to become  President? 
Perhaps  if no candidate receives a majority of the electoral vote then,  
instead of the current system or the national popular vote system,  there 
should be a choice of the President either by a joint session  of Congress or 
by vote of the House (with each member having one  vote). 
Of  course that would require a constitutional amendment, but in my view  
it would also take a constitutional amendment to move to a popular  vote 
system, at least to one that has a blackout period like the  proposed NPVIC.

It's not just a tie that could send  the election to the House of 
Representatives ... I believe it's any  lack of a majority.  If, for example, the 
Americans Elect  candidate wins enough electoral votes to deprive either the  
Republican nominee or the Democratic nominee of an Electoral College
