What’s in it
AI summary Instead of giving all presidential electors to the winner of the statewide vote, this law would split them up. Two electors would go to the party that wins the most votes across the entire state. The remaining electors would be given to the parties that win the most votes within each individual congressional district.1
Read the official explanation
This bill relates to the election of presidential electors. The bill changes the allocation of presidential electors such that two are declared elected from the political party, or group of petitioners, of the candidates for president and vice president who received the greatest number of votes statewide and one elector is declared elected from each congressional district who was selected by the political party, or group of petitioners, of the candidates for president and vice president having the greatest number of votes in that congressional district. Under current law, all presidential electors are allocated to the statewide winner.
