The Electoral College is basically dead after yesterday’s results

Democrats could change the Electoral College to elect presidential candidates by the national popular vote if they win the majority in four state legislatures, warns an election expert.


quote:

However, 18 states and Washington, D.C., have joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), which would assign their electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the national popular vote when it takes effect, according to the National Popular Vote website.


quote:

Since Virginia became the 18th state to join in April, the number of electoral votes that the compact currently has is 222, which is 48 short of the 270 needed for it to take effect. Five battleground states with state legislature elections this year are Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, which have a combined total of 61 electoral votes, according to Save Our States. At least four of those states are needed for the NPVIC to reach the 270-vote threshold.

Not only will those states join the NPV Compact but they will expand mail in voting so republicans can’t win those states in 2028. Congrats to the RINOs, principled conservatives, and everyone else who voted for a democrat or stayed home. You f***ed us forever because muh high prices made us cut our week long summer trip to just 5 days.

All it takes is 4 democrat controlled legislatures to join. The Constitution forbids interstate compacts without Congressional approval which they will get.

The electoral college is the result of 50 individual popular votes. You can’t change the constitution without a constitutional amendment and you can’t do an end run around the constitution either. The compact and the electoral college are at odds with each other. They can’t coexist.

The way states award their EVs is determined by the legislature.

Liberals are laughing their arse off at all the GOP Voters that either didn’t vote or crossed party lines.

They simply had to say prices are high, with no plan to improve things, all while prices being comparable to their last administration and GOP voters ate it up.

Idiots

They can with five more DEI judges packed on the court. You really think law schools aren't cranking out morons who hate the electoral college and would be thrilled to be responsible for killing it? Have you ever heard of a judge Boasberg?

the 40 electoral votes, if they go to DEMS, it is OVER....there is no way to recoup that.....and the swing states are no longer swing states....
TX, CA, and are enough....and if Florida fails too, then it is super over.

PS: Byron Donalds won by less than .5%....against the worst candidate EVER!

The world is leaning left, period!

They're going to try to go farther than this. They want to get rid of the Senate, stack the SCOTUS and move towards a unicameral legislature that elects the POTUS.

Possibly. But the voters who voted for republicans in 2024 and either voted blue or stayed home deserve the most blame.

The GOP has a foundational agenda to promote viable and electable candidates. They failed. The President is a fricking lunatic and the candidates he hand picked all lost, again. This was a repudiation over the failure the GOP had and not an embrace of the Dem posiitons.

They can’t do any of that before the 2028 elections but they pass the compact and expand mail in voting to make it virtually impossible for them to lose the popular vote. Then they can do the other.

This isn’t happening yet. The NPVIC is blatantly unconstitutional. This SCOTUS is weak but they will strike it down immediately. The real threat is another wave like this in 2028 where they can finally pack the court.
