Wouldn’t it require a constitutional Amendment?

Wouldn’t it require a constitutional Amendment?

This is what the Constitution says regarding the selection of Electors by the States.

"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector."

Sounds like the States can do what they want regarding the appointment of the Electors.

If I recall correctly, the Constitution leaves it up the to states to determine how the electors are apportioned. For example, MA is a winner take all state, yet Maine assigned electors by congressional district.

These people voting for this type of assignment of electors are simply handing the presidency over to New York and California.

Stupid.....

IMHO it should since it is part of the Constitution. I don’t udnerstand how states can regulate legally what the federal constitution mandates?
