The compact would effectively null and void votes cast in Virginia itself and only give its electoral college votes to the nationwide popular vote winner.
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger has signed a bill to circumvent the electoral college and have Virginia become a member of a compact between states that are looking to give their Electoral College votes to the presidential candidate that wins the popular vote instead of the candidate that voters from the state choose.
Spanberger signed HB965 into law, which would effectively null and void votes cast in Virginia itself and only give its Electoral College votes to the nationwide popular vote winner. The compact between the states, however, will not go into effect until there are enough states in the compact to reach 270 electoral votes.

With Virginia signed on the compact, there are 18 states plus the District of Columbia that have signed on. There are still dozens of Electoral College votes to go in order for the compact to amass 270 votes.
The bill Spanberger signed states, “Enters Virginia into an interstate compact known as the Agreement Among the States to Elect the President by National Popular Vote. Article II of the Constitution of the United States gives the states exclusive and plenary authority to decide the manner of awarding their electoral votes. Under the compact, Virginia agrees to award its electoral votes to the presidential ticket that receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The compact goes into effect when states cumulatively possessing a majority of the electoral votes have joined the compact. A state may withdraw from the compact."

I guess this cant be challenged until it becomes a real thing, but its unconstitutional on its face.
Good news.
Now that means all those Californians who vote for the Republican candidate will finally have their vote matter after all these years.
I don’t think the Rats have thought through their cunning little plan.
(I probably shouldn’t be revealing this)
If they’re ever successful, the Supreme Court is gonna chew the hard out of their argument and overturn it.
Trump won the popular vote in 2024.
Why vote ? The person that pays the most money wins the election,LOL
Who are the people who voted for Spanberger? What happens to a persons brain to produce a “spanberger?” Does she have swallwell virus?
Cannont understand how this can even be contemplated. The Constitution would have to be amended and that is not easy to do.
Slam dunk to be declared unconstitutional by Supreme Court at the first challenge.
True nothing-burger. Been making the same post on this Popular Vote Compact topic here for almost ten years, and I’ll make it again:
Until a state that voted Trump in 2016 passes this, it’s nothing. The Compact has been stalled for fifteen years now with no path to 270, because only blue states are passing it. They’re running out of this low-hanging fruit.
Kamala Wins Virginia, as she did in '24. Kamala is set to become President having attained the required number of EV's under the traditional rules. But JD Vance has won the popular vote.
The Popular vote compact is in place, with states having the required number of 270 EV's signed up. Does anyone actually believe states like CA and Virginia, would stick to the agreement and allow JD Vance to be President?
This compact is BS and a direct result of lefty states still butt hurt that Hillary did not become President.
I’m glad all my dads old VMI buds whom I loved too didn’t live to see what’s become of Sweet Virginia
Once the backbone of Dixie
Destroyed by yet another Yankee invasion
Foisted by do gooders no different than those radicals in 1860
Sympathy for most of the state captured by NOVA and Richmond
Woke Salad Abby. Congratulations Virginia. A major league FU.
Amen
“Article II of the Constitution of the United States gives the states exclusive and plenary authority to decide the manner of awarding their electoral votes.”
What a clown.
bait & switch clown
Very unlikely that a Repub would win the popular vote and lose the E.C. in the near/mid future. The opposite is much more likely.
