The proposed national popular vote plan to reform the electoral college calls for A. A change in federal election laws B. States to amend their election laws C. States to change their constitutions D. A change to the US constitution

D. A change to the US constitution

The proposed National Popular Vote (NPV) plan calls for a change to the U.S. Constitution. The NPV plan is an interstate compact where participating states agree to allocate their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, rather than the winner of the popular vote within their individual state. For the NPV plan to take effect, states representing a majority of the electoral votes (270 out of 538) would need to join the compact.

This proposed reform aims to ensure that the candidate who wins the most popular votes nationwide becomes the president, regardless of the outcome in individual states. The change would require amending the U.S. Constitution, as the Electoral College system is established by the Constitution, and any alteration to it would require constitutional amendments.
