ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Maryland officially became the first stateTuesday to approve a plan to give its electoral votes for presidentto the winner of the national popular vote instead of the candidatechosen by state voters.
The plan would only take effect if states representing a majorityof the nation's 538 electoral votes decided to make the same change.
Other states are considering the change to avoid an election inwhich a candidate wins the national popular vote but loses in theElectoral College, as in 2000 .
