AI Summary
This bill proposes to apportion electoral votes in Massachusetts by congressional district, rather than awarding all of the state's electoral votes to the candidate who wins the statewide popular vote. Under the bill, electors assigned to a specific congressional district would cast a separate ballot for the presidential and vice presidential candidate who received the most votes in that district. Electors not assigned to a district would cast a ballot for the candidate who won the statewide popular vote. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage.
