"we need 33 state legislatures"34 to be precise (2/3 + 1). I believe 3 states have already made the COS application (Georgia, Alabama and Alaska, I think).
I wrote if we have Nebraska’s unicameral legislature, then we need 33 ***more*** comprising 66 state chambers (state senates and representative bodies).
It becomes easier with the fact that state governors are not needed.
To nudge state legislative bodies to get behind the movement requires a large broad grassroots effort.
I am inclined to believe that an effective grassroots effort that focuses on the state representative body will sway by momentum the state senate body.
Publius is correct that an educational effort needs to be made that counters the ‘Runaway Convention’ hysteria that is pushed by republicans. It is easy to counter their arguments but the effort requires a funding component to get the job done.
