Inquirer Editorial: Democracy that stops short | Philadelphia Inquirer | 08/16/2011: "Most people probably don't realize it, but there's a slow, quiet move under way to bring American democracy into the 21st century by ensuring the presidential candidate who gets the most votes is actually elected president.
The National Popular Vote movement got a huge boost recently thanks to the most populous state. Earlier this month, California officially joined eight states and the District of Columbia in pledging to cast its electoral votes for the winner of the popular vote. The pledge won't take effect until signed by states representing a majority of the Electoral College,"
