The resolution expresses support for the Electoral College system and denounces the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). It argues that the Electoral College respects the role of states in presidential elections, balances rural and urban interests, and reflects the voting preferences of each state's citizens. The resolution also raises concerns about the constitutionality of the NPVIC, suggesting it undermines state authority and could lead to increased federal control over elections.
Furthermore, the resolution calls for North Dakota and other interested states to consider forming an Electoral College Interstate Compact, which would prevent state electors from being bound to the national popular vote and challenge the NPVIC's constitutionality. It proposes that this compact be formed once four other states express intent to join, and it instructs the Secretary of State to share the resolution with various state leaders across the country.
