A RESOLUTION

 

supporting the electoral college.

 

 

(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)

 

Whereas, few issues were debated in greater detail at the Constitutional Convention than the method by which our nation should elect its president; and

Whereas, the wise compromise chosen by our nation's founders is the electoral college; and

Whereas, the electoral college gives each state in the nation a voice to use as it sees fit; and

Whereas, the electoral college respects the rights of each state to determine its own electors as it sees fit; and

Whereas, these rights are specifically granted to each state in Article II, section 1, Constitution of the United States; and

Whereas, the electoral college helps to maintain the balance of power between the states and the federal government; and

Whereas, the electoral college has functioned flawlessly since its establishment more than two hundred years ago.

Therefore

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona:

That the Members of the House of Representatives support the electoral college and oppose any efforts to repeal or replace it.

 

 

 

 

PASSED BY THE HOUSE FEBRUARY 17, 2020.
