AI Summary

This bill proposes to apportion Massachusetts' electoral votes by congressional district rather than allocating them based on the statewide popular vote. Under the proposed changes, electors assigned to a specific congressional district would cast their vote for the presidential and vice presidential candidate who received the most votes in that district, while at-large electors not assigned to a district would cast their vote for the candidate who won the statewide popular vote. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage.
