Johnson’s 1910 voter Initiative route." Yes Arthur, you are right, and redundant. “California Democrats cannot get the National Popular Vote Plan past the current GOP Govenator…they have to go with Governor Hiram W.

They have to go with Governor Hiram W. Johnson's 1910 voter Initiative route. Republicans and other Dump Governor Gray Davis types can get the Each Congressional District Plurality scheme through the Govenator's office, if, and only, if survives the State Assembly and State Senate. They too would have smoother sailing with a public referendem! This second, hybrid, compromise, baby steps procedure would insure some GOP electors and verses NONE from 1988 onward. Now would 'independents' be freer to act with the Dems taking a million vote majority every four years, or take a chance with a possible historic but small electorial production.
