The bill, H. 3005, is a concurrent resolution from the South Carolina General Assembly expressing strong support for the Electoral College. It emphasizes the importance of the Electoral College as a constitutional mechanism that balances the interests of smaller states and ensures that presidential candidates gain support from various regions across the country. The resolution highlights the founding fathers' intent in creating the Electoral College and argues against the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which it claims would undermine the state-by-state electoral process and diminish the role of individual states in presidential elections.
Furthermore, the resolution calls on the Governor and Attorney General of South Carolina to take aggressive legal action against any efforts to repeal or nullify the Electoral College, including opposition to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The General Assembly believes that any changes to the current system could jeopardize the stability and effectiveness of presidential elections, which have functioned under the Electoral College for over two centuries.
