Bill Summary

Express The General Assembly's Unwavering Support For The Electoral College, And To Urge The Governor And Attorney General Of South Carolina To Litigate Aggressively Against Any Effort To Repeal Or Nullify It, Including The Implementation Of The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution expresses the South Carolina General Assembly's strong backing for the Electoral College, a system established by the U.S. Constitution to elect the President, which they believe balances the interests of smaller states and rural areas with those of larger states and urban centers, and it directs the Governor and Attorney General to vigorously oppose any attempts to abolish or undermine it, specifically mentioning the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which is an agreement among states to award their electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote, regardless of the outcome in their own state.
