Although the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel asks that question of its readers in this editorial, I have to ask the question to the members of that esteemed editorial board.  They're asking whether Wisconsin should join a compact to end around the Electoral College:

Coming soon to Wisconsin will be a campaign to convince the state that it should take a hand in neutralizing the Electoral College. Because you paid attention during civics class, you know that this is the constitutionally created body that actually elects the president.

The pitch, from an organization called the National Popular Vote, will be that Wisconsin join other states in signing a compact that would have the state's electors - the folks who actually get to vote in the Electoral College - cast their ballots for whoever wins the national popular vote.

Yes, this is an end-run around Congress, where smaller states are likely to block any move because of the perception - one National Popular Vote disputes - that they will see their clout diminished.

I suggest that the Journal needs a lesson in the civics, because they're forgetting two rather important parts of that pesky Constitution thing.  Apparently the Journal has forgotten that those Founding Fathers, in all their "folly" actually built in a mechanism to change the Constitution.  We've actually done it too... 27 times in fact:

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

But you see... this idea is even more foolish because it is expressly forbidden in Article I of the Constitution!

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

I can understand the Journal's frustration.  After all, with the President's powers growing consistently in the last 100 years, and the Federal government doing more and more that it ought not do... the idea of "the states" electing a President instead of "the people" seems very unfair.  What's important to remember here is that the solution is not to change how we elect our President.  Instead, the solution is to remove power from Washington, and put it back where it belongs... in the states.

And this concludes today's civics lesson.
