A supermajority of the Arizona Senate and House of Representatives supports an effort to change how the country votes for its commander in chief.
Forty-one representatives and 20 senators – two-thirds of the legislators in each chamber – signed on as sponsors of bills pushed by National Popular Vote, an organization trying to convince state legislatures to change how they allocate their votes cast in the Electoral College.

It takes 270 Electoral College votes to win a presidential election.
