On April 14, 2026, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger signed House Bill 965 into law, making the Commonwealth the 19th jurisdiction to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
We can answer the question you asked already. Congress will wait until it’s very expensive and too late. It’s pretty much the only thing you can count on Congress for.
The Dem party exists solely to perpetuate itself into a one party state/nation. As the late great David Horowitz said, “Scratch a progressive - get a totalitarian.”
You don’t vote for that party under ANY circumstances.
Let’s not mince words here. The Compact is an attempt by Democratic lawmakers to do an end-run around the Constitution because a large majority of states have Republican-run governments and therefore have a current advantage in the Electoral College. The Democrats seem unwilling to do the hard work necessary to earn the public’s trust state-by-state; if they were, more state governments would be Democrat-run and this entire issue would be moot.
“The only question is whether Congress will act while acting is still cheap, or wait until acting is both expensive and late.”
Aaaaand, we all know the answer to that question.
Heck, they can’t even get the Save Act passed, much less anything else.
My question is why can this not be litigated right now, as its destructive consequences are pretty damn obvious and its Constitutionality flagrantly in breech. Someone needs to put a stop to this diabolical chicanery LIKE NOW.
Can not the DOJ do something like that or an independent legal entity file suit against it,
getting this matter out of the hands of Congress and putting a stop to it post haste.
You make an excellent argument. The issue is that I believe the chaos that will result if this is not headed off in advance (and it won't be) is the actual goal.
Trump won the popular vote in 2024. So this means California and Virginia Electoral College votes would all go to Trump? Do the advocates of NPV ever think through the consequences?
Alexander Muse is dead on—the National Popular Vote Compact isn’t just a workaround, it’s a constitutional landmine waiting to detonate. As detailed in his analysis , this scheme collides head-on with the Compact Clause in Article I, Section 10, which bars states from binding agreements without congressional consent. And even that may not save it. You’re talking about states pooling sovereign authority to effectively rewrite Article II without an amendment. The Founders saw this coming—they built guardrails for a reason. The second this compact decides an election, it’s not politics anymore—it’s a Supreme Court crisis.
This is yet another effort by the odious demonrats to impose COMMUNISM BY STEALTH‼️😡🤬
Straight up sedition.

I trust the GOP is filing suit?
Excellent analysis and recommendation. Well researched and articulated, as usual.

It's such a wonderful thing. I hope it gets signed by enough States.
We are so far from “may the best person win” that it boggles the mind.
And in Virginia….

Their 'logic' is that fraud where they control the election mechanisms in the blue states will apply nationwide.
This is the kind of issue that a CONVENTION of STATES could be called to address.
