Urges Electoral
College Changes
A change in the method of elect
ing the President and Vice Presi
dent of the United States is pro
posed by Alaska Senate Joint Res
olution No. 74.
The resolution, proposed by the
federal relations committee of the
state senate, urges the Congress
to propose amendments to the U.S.
Constitution to have the President
and Vice President elected as fol
lows:
“In the electoral college in each
state, each congressional district
would have one electoral vote
which would be cast according to
the vote of a majority of the vot
ers in the district; the remaining
electoral votes of the state would
be cast as the majority of the
voters in the state voted and each
elector would vote accordingly in
the electoral college.”
The resolution states that under
the present system that minority
groups often possess “influence
disproportionate to their num
bers” and that this process “has
had a most adverse affect upon
the welfare of the country.”
The method proposed by the
resolution would not change the
method presently used in Alaska
since Alaska has but one at-large
congressional district anyway.
