- A 2001 article written by law professors Akhil and Vikram Amar proposed that states could instead agree to award their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote.
- The Amars' idea is the basis of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC).
- If states holding a majority of electoral college votes (270) adopt the NPVIC, the compact will
- Minnesota adopted the NPVIC in 2023.

The student wants to explain the significance of Minnesota's NPVIC adoption. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

Because it has adopted the NPVIC, Minnesota will award its electoral votes to the winner of the state's popular vote-once states holding a majority of electoral college votes (270) do the same.

According to the idea proposed by the Amars, the winner of Minnesota's popular vote will receive all of the state's electoral votes if the NPVIC takes effect.

If the NPVIC takes effect, adopter Minnesota will award all 10 of its electoral votes to the winner of the national, rather than the state's, popular vote.

An agreement among US states to award their electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote was adopted by Minnesota in 2023.
