Let’s see how this change would work: In Ohio, in the 1948 Presidential election, |] President Truman reeeived 1,452,791 votes and Governor Dewey 1,445,684. Under! | the present procedure, Mr. Truman re- ciever the twenty-five electoral votes of Ohio. Under the new procedure, the votes would be practically evenly divided be- tween the candidates. ‘In New York State, the situation was reversed, Mr, Truman received 2,780,20: and Governor Dewey, 2,841,168: Gover: nor Dewey. received the forty-Séven elec toral votes of New York. Underathe ne program, these would be practically’ even-' ly divided between the candidates. | . The proposed amendment, it seems to -1 us, would be a more equitable method of | selecting the Chief Executive of the Unit- ed States.
