The Massachusetts Senate voted to enact the national popular vote legislation. Once passed by other states constituting a majority in the Electoral College, the law will create a popular vote in presidential elections rather than continuing to use the state-by-state winner-take-all system that is currently the norm. The legislation, which was enacted in the Massachusetts House last week recieved final approval in the Senate this afternoon with a vote 28 to 9, now sits before Governor Deval Patrick.
