NPV at Suncoast Tiger Bay Club

Patrick Rosenstiel, senior consultant of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, recently spoke at the Suncoast Tiger Bay Club about National Popular Vote and the pervasive effects of the Electoral College.

While speaking, Rosenstiel said, in part, “I think a lot of people believe that the current ‘winner-take-all system’ was actually in the United States Constitution or was the founder’s system. Nowhere in the constitution does it talk about the state-based winner take all system. The state based winner take all system was not adopted by a majority of the states until the 11th presidential election. It was adopted in the lead up to the Civil War.”
