Iowa Seeks To Remove Electoral College

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-cancelling-their-caucus-i-bet dept.

Zebano writes "Since changing the US constitution is too much work, the Iowa senate is considering a bill that would send all 7 of Iowa's electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote in a presidential election. This would only go into affect after enough states totaling 270 electoral votes (enough to elect a president) adopted similar resolutions."

    Well, one thing I can assure you is that your vote will NOT count in Iowa, should this bill pass into law.

    Your vote will count in Iowa, as long as you don't vote there.
