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.
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.
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.
Its not that they fear doing hard work but that they know they pushed their batshit craziness too far this time and the only way back t power without waiting multiple generations is by some cheat like this.
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?
“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.
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.
They are still being stealthy b/c this feminist witch campaigned as a moderate and was playing a role as she always planned to be an ideological extremists.
The way to force SCOTUS to deal with this is for the Red States to do their own compact saying that if the Blue State's compact kicks in and they follow thru then the Red State's will award all of their electoral votes to whoever is not the candidate that the Blue states in the compact are giving their electoral votes to.
Play dirty just like the Democrats and force their hand!
They just want to win every time. If I didn’t know better, is the perfection of the steal. And the RINOS will do what they always do. Like now on the Save America Act, stall.
Abby better go back and read the Constitution. In fact, if I am not mistaken, she placed her hand on the constitution to take her Oath. She never cared about the constitution. She has shown who she really is. There are only a few who have shown they are American, most of the Democrat party is now Marxist.

Democrats win the national elections they will pack the Supreme Court and then poof.. no more constitutional crisis.

Write to Speaker Johnson. Demand action from Congress before it gets any more entrenched.

Their 'logic' is that fraud where they control the election mechanisms in the blue states will apply nationwide.

I trust the GOP is filing suit?
We are so far from “may the best person win” that it boggles the mind.
This is the kind of issue that a CONVENTION of STATES could be called to address.
Oui your Majesty do summon The Estates General.
This is yet another effort by the odious demonrats to impose COMMUNISM BY STEALTH‼️😡🤬
Stealth?
Yes, stealth.
They will never admit to being commies. Their Marxist indoctrination is always framed as “social justice”.
Hence, the constant chorus of “our democracy”.
Those who won’t fall for their duplicity understand that we are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.
The mob-rule mentality of those who advocate for “democracy” is anathema to us.
My point; they’re not stealthy. People know.
They are still being stealthy b/c this feminist witch campaigned as a moderate and was playing a role as she always planned to be an ideological extremists.
Excellent analysis and recommendation. Well researched and articulated, as usual.
And in Virginia….

If they can’t win by cheating then they will try to change the rules. The Democrats need MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT 🤦♀️
