Was there any state where Clinton won a majority in 1992?
Yes, his home state of Arkansas where he won 53 percent. Other than Arkansas, he won a majority only in the District of Columbia where he got 85 percent. Are there moves afoot to change the electoral vote system? Maryland and New Jersey have enacted a measure called the National Popular Vote bill. Under this law, a state’s electoral votes would be awarded to the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The Maryland legislation would not take effect until the enactment of identical laws in enough other states to reach a majority of the electoral votes, that is, 270 out of 538. But smaller states such as Vermont, South Dakota, and Alaska would lose clout under this proposal. The Electoral College system guarantees that every state, no matter how small its population, gets at least three electoral votes. Could Congress scrap the electoral vote system?
