Direct Vote Urged by Committee in Constitutional Amendment
The report says the present electoral vote system cannot guarantee the winner of the most popular votes. The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the plan on April 24 by an 11-6 vote after rival proposals were defeated. Some members will file separate statements opposing runoff provisions if no candidate reaches 40 percent in the popular vote. A minority report against the amendment is being prepared. If no majority emerges, the election would be decided by the House with each state delegation voting.
