In winning the presidential election, Donald Trump has received fewer overall votes than Hillary Clinton according to current vote tallies. That fact has revived talk on the Left that the electoral college needs to be “fixed”—as if the possibility that a candidate could win election with fewer overall votes was something the Founders failed to anticipate. In particular, the National Popular Vote plan calls for states to pledge their electors to vote for the candidate who receives the most votes nationally instead of the most votes in their state. As Tara Ross explains, not only is the National Popular Vote plan an end-run around the Constitution and its federalist design, it would also incentivize and nationalize voter fraud.
