Oregon May Join Popular Vote Movement

“The Oregon Senate voted to join a movement designed to award the presidency to the winner of the popular vote,” the Oregonian reports.

“If the bill is approved by the Oregon House and signed into law, Oregon would join 14 other states and the District of Columbia in the National Popular Vote compact. The idea behind the compact is that state legislatures would award their state’s Electoral College votes to the presidential candidate who receives the most votes nationwide.”
