<P>Ever since the Founding Fathers created the Electoral College, Congress has tried to overturn it. The latest attempt is taking place not in Congress, but in state legislatures around the country, where a campaign by a private California group calling itself <Q>National Popular Vote</Q> (NPV) is proposing an <Q>interstate compact</Q> to circumvent the process for amending the U.S. Constitution. If adopted by states representing a majority of electoral votes, these states would bind themselves to ignore the popular votes within their respective states, and instead allocate their electoral votes to the candidate whom the media proclaimed to be the <Q>national popular vote</Q> winner.  In this new history of the Electoral College, the author, a law professor lays bare the constitutional loopholes that have allowed this movement to succeed in states representing about half the electoral votes necessary to bind those states to ignore the popular vote of the people within their respective states.</P>
