Article I, Section 10, Clause 3:
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.
The Compact Clause prohibits states from entering into any Agreement or Compact with another State or with a foreign government without the consent of Congress. Whereas other provisions in Article I, Section 10 categorically deny states certain powers, the Compact Clause allows states to retain what the Supreme Court has described as the sovereign right to make agreements and compacts, provided Congress consents.

18 states plus DC have all signed onto this national compact. It started in 2006.

You realize Trump won the popular vote in 2024!

Virginia needs to secede from the NOVA region. That’s probably the only way they’ll get another GOP governor into office.

I'm not so sure that it is.

HB965 says that all of Virginia’s Electoral College votes will go to the winner of the national popular vote
Ok so they're literally just disenfranchise their entire state of voters? Am I understanding correctly?

Guess we'll find out someday.
But I can tell you if I were a soon to be disenfranchised citizen voter in one of these states, so politicians would be having some sleepless nights.

The EC is there for a reason. WTF is wrong with them?
This will water down votes from middle America.

They plan on AOC winning the popular vote in VA if they have to order mail boxes full of dem votes for billions.

This will backfire and it will be spectacular when it does.
Wouldn't it be glorious if CA, NY and VA had this law in place for the 2028 election and a Republican wins by a landslide?
The gnashing of teeth and wailing at the moon would be of spectacular, epic proportions.

This woman may single handly be the best thing for the Right....if only the Right could message. They'd open the eyes of enough center left folks to how anti-American and evil scum the Democrats are.

We want every blue state to do this. VA hasn’t gone red in an election since W.
Had this been in place last cycle, Trump carries VA too. This will come to hurt them before it hurts us.

No fricking way founders/ratifiers intended for a state to tie its electoral votes to the votes of other states.
I mean if thats what they wanted then never would have put the EC in place at all.

I think that's the wrong way to look at this.
It will usher in an actual tyranny of the majority.
Fun if we win, not so much if we lose.
Plus, believe it or not, I have no desire to rob a state of their votes- even if the retards vote blue.
