This week Illinois joined Maryland and New Jersey in passing the National Popular Vote bill, which would guarantee that the presidential candidate who receives the most votes in all 50 states will win the Presidency, regardless of the outcome in the Electoral College.
The National Popular Vote plan is a state-based plan, not requiring a constitutional amendment. It's an ingenious and politically practical way to implement nationwide popular election of the President.

The National Popular Vote bill has now been signed into law in states possessing 46 electoral votes. This is one-sixth of the 270 electoral votes needed to bring the National Popular Vote interstate compact into effect.

For the first time in modern American history, we're making real progress in the effort to end the current un-democratic system of electing our president.
Today, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley signed the National Popular Vote bill. Maryland thus became the first state to pass the law that -- once passed by sufficient states -- will ensure that the presidency goes to the person who wins the most votes nationwide.
And in the last few days, the Hawaii legislature passed the National Popular Vote bill and sent it on to Governor Linda Lingle.
The National Popular Vote act is an interstate agreement that effectively change the system of picking the president. It's an ingenious plan that doesn't require a constitutional amendment -- instead, it would become effective once it becomes law in enough states equaling a majority of the Electoral College vote. Once it passes this threshold, the Electoral College becomes instantly irrelevant, replacing our presidential elections with a pure popular vote.
If you're curious (or skeptical) about how this can be accomplished without amending the Constitution, I encourage you to check out this website for more information.

We're on our way to eliminating the Electoral College. Here's the update on today's progress, as announced by the bipartisan National Popular Vote organization:
April 2, 2007: "The National Popular Vote bill today passed the Maryland House of Delegates. The bill had previously passed the Senate. The Washington Post has reported that the office of Governor Martin O’Malley has stated that the Governor would sign the bill when it reaches his desk.
The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee that the presidential candidate who receives the most votes in all 50 states will win the Presidency. This state-based plan is a constitutional and politically practical way to implement nationwide popular election of the President�"a goal supported by an overwhelming majority of Americans (70% in recent polls)."

With any luck, the simple and elegant solution proposed by National Popular Vote would do away with the College without having to amend the Constitution.
It's been introduced in 34 states. On March 28, Maryland became the third state where the measure has passed in at least one house.
The measure becomes effective once it becomes law in enough states equaling a majority of the Electoral College vote. Once it passes this threshold, the Electoral College becomes instantly irrelevant, replacing our presidential elections with a pure popular vote. Read more about the proposal here.
