10 Down, 260 To Go

Maryland's going to become the first state to adopt National Popular Vote legislation, though it won't go into effect just yet. The state will opt to apportion their electors to the Electoral College to the winner of the Presidential popular vote, once enough states pass the same legislation (totaling 270 EVs) to ensure that the man or woman with the most votes wins, the way every other election from dog catcher on up works in this country.

Arkansas, Colorado and Hawaii have passed this bill through at least one State House this year.

It's about the most common-sense legislation I've seen in many a decade. The electoral college is a relic and ought to be outlawed for its violation of one-person, one-vote.
