Marquis Childs reports on a proposed constitutional amendment to allocate electoral votes by state popular vote. Key backers include Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Jr and Representative Ed Gossett, with opposition from Senator Robert Taft and Charles M. Lafollette. The piece notes regional bias in the electoral system and partisan strategizing across chambers.
Hubert Humphrey, national ADA chairman, says conservative Republicans push a plan that could flood the Democratic Party with southern margins, shifting power to southern delegates and freezing reaction. The debate centers on the Lodge Gossett amendment and the outdated electoral college as Taft and others warn of a potential southern oligarchy.
The amendment aims to scrap the electoral college while keeping the unit rule for voting. It preserves a combined House Senate vote for a president if no candidate wins a majority, a safeguard described as quaint and risky by critics.
