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.
Yeah, the same moderately sized group that calls for single payer health care, living wages, etc, etc. The people who actually run the party keep them around to keep their left flank just hopeful enough not to defect to the Greens or PSL, and work hard to ensure they are never allowed any actual power to affect anything in the party that might make the donors sad.
