Nevada will send legislation to the governor's desk that would give the state's Electoral College votes to the winner of the popular vote -- and could become the 15th state to do so
The Nevada Senate passed AB 186 by 12-8 on Tuesday, which would include the state in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and allocate its electors to the national popular-vote winner -- as opposed to the winner of the popular vote in the state -- in the next presidential election. The measure, which passed the state Assembly in April, will now go to Democratic Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak. CNN has reached out to Sisolak's office for comment.
