A national effort to circumvent the Electoral College has gained another state.
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed a bill Monday that adds the state to the National Popular Vote Compact, an agreement among states to award their presidential electoral votes to the nationwide popular vote winner.
With Virginia, the total number of states signed on to the interstate compact is now 18, plus the District of Columbia, for a total of 222 electoral votes.
The compact doesn’t go into effect, though, until there are enough states signed up to reach the required 270 electoral votes to elect a president.
“This [effort] started 20 years ago and it’s been slow and steady … constant forward momentum across these 20 years,” said Alyssa Cass, a strategist for the National Popular Vote Project and a Democratic consultant. “Bills have been introduced in almost every state, most passed in a bipartisan way. This is on the 5-yard line of making this a reality.”
But with dozens of electoral votes to go, it’s unclear which other states would seek to enact the compact next. And even if it were to cross the 270 threshold, legal challenges would likely await.

“The compact doesn’t go into effect, though, until there are enough states signed up to reach the required 270 electoral votes to elect a president.”
And that isn’t going to happen
the second a Republican is winning the popular vote, they will rush to throw these laws out.
No sir. We will end up with mob rule by the leftist cities.
The whole point is to strip rule out of areas outside their core cities.
This has always been their plan…flood the nation with illegals who depend on government assistance, let them vote and you will have one party
In the White House and Supreme Court forever.
“the second a Republican is winning the popular vote”
I was wondering about that. Seems like a two-edged sword.
This is how you end up with someone like Hitler or Stalin. One party rule makes it easier to install a dictator.
Trump won the popular vote in the last election
Yeah, it seems like this has the potential to backfire. Since all the states signing on to this compact are Democrat strongholds, this could provide a historic landslide to the Republican if they loose the popular vote.
President Trump won the popular vote in 2024...
I’ll bet Virginia are buying most of the Fentanyl and methamphetamine coming in across the borders. They gone full commie since they hired the Ditzy Barbie Skank, Abby Spamburger.
She’s AWFUL.
She’s even worse than I expected.
“...They gone full commie since they hired the Ditzy Barbie Skank, Abby Spamburger....”
That ugly, AWFL SpunkBurger is a nasty shit sandwich that even the Commuist Party USA! will eventually regret ever biting into.
Just another communist AWFL doing awful things to America.
Once this is implemented, their ballot-stuffing in big cities buys them national victories… forever.
This is why Jo Jo Pedo Bidenskyyyyy purchased 20 million foreign turds and snuck them into America. Biden needs his mangy ass kicked for what he’s done to our country.
It's Democrats, so maybe they think this will make it easier for them to cheat?
Or maybe just self-delusion about the popular vote?
Remember 2016 was the "flight 93 election"?
That's every election from now on, presuming we can vote our way out.
Maybe Trump was just a couple of speedbumps on the road to Hell.
