Well, I was not suggesting that the possibility of recounts should be a consideration in debating the merits of a national popular vote. I was trying to say, perhaps not too clearly, that in a very close election, you would need a national recount to verify the national popular vote. You couldn’t just recount certain states to verify who won the national popular vote. As I understand it, the national popular vote would drive the electoral votes under these NPV proposals, not just the vote within indivudual states, as now occurs.
I agree that the possibility of election recounts should not determine how we administer elections.
