AI Summary
This bill repeals the "Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote," which was an agreement that New Jersey had joined to potentially award its electoral votes to the candidate who won the national popular vote, rather than the candidate who won the popular vote in New Jersey. The bill amends existing laws related to the election of presidential electors to remove any references to this agreement, ensuring that New Jersey's electors will be chosen based on the state's popular vote results and that any vacancies in the electoral college will be filled according to standard state procedures, not those dictated by the repealed agreement.
