Maryland Wants Direct Election Of President

The creative plan to elect our President without the electoral college and without having to amend the Constitution is making slow gains. Last year it passed in California but their Governor terminated it.

It has just passed both houses of the Maryland legislature. Governor O’Malley has promised to sign it, making Maryland’s ten electoral votes the first to go into the pool. Only 260 more to go.

Currently one house of the legislature has approved the plan in Colorado, Hawaii, and Arkansas. It was introduced in Iowa as a study bill, but our legislature is too busy with other election reforms to take it up this term.
