Senate Debates Electoral College Abolition Amendment
The Senate began debate on a proposed amendment to abolish the Electoral College and elect the president by popular vote with a runoff if no candidate has 40 percent. It requires two thirds in Congress and three fourths of states to ratify. The House passed it in 1969, Nixon endorsed it, and fate in the Senate was uncertain. Ratification by states must occur by April 15, 1971 for the 1972 election to be affected.
