Slowly but inexorably

Movement on abolishing the Electoral College is slow, but there is movement. This week Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. expects to introduce a constitutional amendments to abolish the College and elect the president by a national majority vote (HJ Res. 36). And – surprise, surprise – Arnold is backing an initiative to enact nonpartisan redistricting before the 2006 elections. Perhaps, California will be the leader on this as they were on Proposition 2 1/2.
