Only 245 more to go!
By Wally EdgePolitickerNJ reports that New Jersey's state assembly has scheduled a vote on national popular vote legislation for this Thursday. The bill enjoys support from the Assembly's Democratic leadership and that of popular ex-governor Richard Codey in the state Senate.
Governor Jon Corzine is yet to say whether he'd sign it or not.
If New Jersey were to turn the legislation law, their 15 electoral votes combined with our 10 would leave another 245 votes before the agreement goes into effect.
Plus, it would finally mean this "interstate compact" consists of more than one state!
