This Resolution expresses support for the current method of electing the President of the United States through the Electoral College, a system established by the U.S. Constitution. It argues that the framers of the Constitution intentionally chose this method over a direct popular vote to create a federal republic, not a unitary democracy, and that the Electoral College ensures the President is chosen by the states. The Resolution specifically rejects the "National Popular Vote" proposal, which it claims would not guarantee a majority of voters elect the President, would undermine the framers' intent by creating a compact system, reduce Oklahoma voters' influence, and could lead to national policy centralization and destabilizing national recounts without a clear process. Copies of this resolution are to be sent to Oklahoma's congressional delegation.
