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 mechanism established by the founding fathers to ensure a balanced presidential selection process that considers the interests of smaller states like South Carolina. The resolution argues that the Electoral College maintains a system of checks and balances and protects the voices of minorities while reflecting the will of the majority.
Additionally, the resolution urges the Governor and Attorney General of South Carolina to take aggressive legal action against any attempts to repeal or undermine the Electoral College, particularly in relation to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The resolution highlights concerns that this compact could lead to a direct election of the president, diminishing the role of individual states and potentially resulting in nationwide recounts and federal intervention in state election processes.
