I recognize the need for electoral reform and I supported the district plan which would accomplish the purpose with the least change from the federalism that has served us so well in the past. Under the district plan, a presidential candidate would win one electoral vote for each Congressional district he carried, plus two for each state he carried. This plan is workable and considerably less radical that the direct election plan. I hope that the Senate will move in this direction in its deliberations on the important issue of electoral reform.
