Governor Hochul: “We, the people, forming a more perfect union, and I strongly believe that the people of New York State and the United States of America, should and must have their votes count equally, and that the popular vote should prevail. It’s time to amend the Constitution and relegate the institution of the Electoral College to the history books.”
Governor Hochul presided over the 60th general proceedings of the New York State Electoral College in Albany. As part of the proceedings, Governor Hochul announced her support for a Constitutional Amendment for a national popular vote for President and putting an end to the Electoral College.
