After Virginia Bill Passes, Compact to Eliminate Electoral College is Now 82 Percent Complete

Last week, Virginia became the 18th state to pass a bill that will effectively eliminate the Electoral College.

Unbeknownst to most people, there is a serious effort in this country to make the presidential election a simple popular vote. Even though most people have never heard about this effort, it’s actually already 82 percent complete. Meaning the Electoral College is truly at risk of getting completely scrapped in the near future.

The ironic thing about this is that it may not necessarily be unconstitutional. Instead, this method is using a loophole in the way that the constitution set up our federalist system.

This effort is officially called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (otherwise known as the NPVIC)—it’s an agreement between the states that join to give their electoral votes to whichever candidate wins the popular vote at the national level.
