Humphrey Urges Popular Vote Amendment
Humphrey writes in The Democrat that the 1968 defeat underscored the need for a constitutional amendment to elect the president by popular vote. He aligns with Bayh’s plan to abolish the Electoral College, and urges Democratic reform and broader public participation within the party ahead of 1970 elections.
