The resolution expresses strong support for the Electoral College system, emphasizing its role in maintaining the balance of power between states and the federal government, as well as ensuring representation for both rural and urban interests in presidential elections. It argues that the current system preserves the constitutional separation of powers and reflects the founding fathers' intent, who rejected a national popular vote in favor of the Electoral College. The resolution criticizes the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, claiming it undermines state authority, could lead to nationwide recounts, and may be unconstitutional.
Furthermore, the resolution invites other states to join in forming an Electoral College Interstate Compact, which would prevent electors from casting votes based on the national popular vote and challenge the constitutionality of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It proposes that the compact be established once four other states express their intent to join, and it directs the Secretary of State to share this resolution with various state leaders across the country.
