An interstate pact - arguably in violation of the Constitutional ban on same (Article 1, Section 10) - is out there threatening to make the Electoral College irrelevant; it becomes a rubber-stamp of the popular vote.
It’s called the “National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.” Once states with the cumulative total of 270 Electoral Votes sign-off on this deal, the compact will be triggered and those states will assign their Electoral Votes to the winner of the national popular vote, regardless of how their own voters voted.
As of December 2022, 16 states and Washington, D.C., had adopted legislation to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Together, they represent 195 Electoral College votes. (1)
The goal of the NPV is to replace our republic with a democracy, overturning republican (small - “r”) government for the pure democracy the Founders sought to avoid. It’s Democrats intent on a single-party dictatorship.
Evidently polling (FWIW) since Biden’s decision to turn tail in Afghanistan has shown Trump with an ever-increasing majority of the popular vote. (2)
Won’t it be fun if deep blue states that have signed the NPV wind up giving their electoral votes to Trump?
That’ll REALLY trigger the progs.

Perishing as it may be (with a nod to the poet Robinson Jeffers), I still insist onkeeping this country a republic. May the stars long wave!
Much like politicians electronic voting machines can be corrupted. I often reflect on the Iraq vote after the war. Each person voted in person and then stuck their finger in blue dye that didn’t wash off. In person and physical indication of already voted. Hmmm.. that was devised by our government right?
