Current Status

Rep. Bill LaVoy (District 17) of the State of Michigan House of Representative informs me that Michigan has made two attempts to pass legislation to appoint electors based on the popular national vote, not on plurality state vote. His email to me:

Good morning, Barry,

Thank you for emailing me regarding you views about the recent election. You are not alone in your frustration. Many of my constituents have contacted my office as well. Most are asking for a move away from the Electoral College and toward a National Popular Vote. According to the National Popular Vote advocacy group, the Michigan House of Representatives passed the National Popular Vote bill (HB 6610) in 2008. Unfortunately it failed to pass the Senate and was therefore never enacted. Currently, the same bill was introduced in the Senate (SB 0088) in February of 2015 and is awaiting a vote in the Committee on Elections and Government Reform. The bill will have to pass out of committee in the Senate before they can take a vote on it, then pass through a similar process in the House of Representatives. I understand your concerns and hope that this information will help to address them.

I will keep your advocacy in mind and I hope you continue advocating for legislation you feel strongly about. Having input from residents in the district is very important to me and I appreciate you taking the time to reach out to me.

Thanks, Bill

The current bill appears to be more of a compact between states than individual action by the State of Michigan, however: http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2015-2016/billintroduced/Senate/htm/2015-SIB-0088.htm

EDIT: just for fun, I wrote up what a sample letter to a representative might look like:

Dear [name of representative],

On November 8th, the majority of [state resident name, eg "Michiganders"] voted against Donald Trump.

If it hadn't been for a small minority of third party protest voters, Hillary Clinton would've won the election.

Those voters are kicking themselves now, because they know, as you know, and as we all know, that a Trump Presidency means disaster: not just for [state name], but for the entire United States as a whole.

Fortunately, there's something even more powerful than a bloated windbag: the Constitution of the United States of America.

Talk to your constituents, especially those who voted for third-party candidates and ask your fellow legislators to do the same. Your constituents will tell you: if they had known Trump would win, they would've happily changed their protest vote to prevent a Trump Presidency.

And then, do the right thing, and invoke your Constitutional right and duty to appoint electors the way your constituents want: for Hillary Clinton, and not for Donald Trump.

Don't let a small minority of regretful voters ruin your great state and our great nation.

EDIT: I've now created http://RemoveTrumpNow.com/ -- everyone, please yell it at protestors (online and offline), so I can go viral or at least have the load bring my server down. Thanks!
