Progress for National Popular Vote Plan

The National Popular Vote proposal for an “Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote” made it out of a California Assembly committee.

Also approved by the committee was a separate bill to move California's presidential primary to January 2, which is not such a good idea. Campaigning in a large state like California is expensive (understatement heavy), and such a move would make so-called "early money" even more important -- as if that's even possible.

A better idea is a rotating presidential primary campaign like that outlined in what's known as the "American Plan." Learn more about it here and here.
