The Left is Already Claiming That Democrats Have Enough Control to Get Rid of the Electoral College

With the Democrat sweep of the House and Senate on Tuesday, leftists are already claiming that Democrats will have enough control to end the Electoral College, one of their long term goals for years.

They would love nothing more than for New York City and Los Angeles, both of which are now controlled by the DSA, to choose the president for the rest of the entire country.

And by the way, it’s not just fringe activists who are saying this. Look at this tweet from Axios:

Democrats' sweeping statehouse gains have opened a path to effectively replacing the Electoral College with a national popular vote in time for the 2028 presidential election — without needing to amend the Constitution.

This is what all the State Legislatures are looking like. Dems now have the power to pass the National Voter Compact to effectively abolish the Electoral College.

Larry O’Connor writes at Townhall:

The Electoral College Is Just 48 Votes Away From Becoming Irrelevant

There’s something called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It has been quietly working its way through state legislatures since 2006.

Here’s the scheme.

Under the Constitution, states have the authority to determine how they appoint their presidential electors. Nearly every state currently awards its electoral votes to the candidate who wins that state’s popular vote.

The compact would change that.

States joining the agreement promise to award all their electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the national popular vote, regardless of which candidate wins their own state.
Think about what that means.

Imagine that Pennsylvania votes for the Republican presidential nominee in 2028. Not by a few hundred votes, but by a decisive margin.

Pennsylvania voters have spoken. They want the Republican.

But if Pennsylvania joins this compact and the Democrat wins the national popular vote, Pennsylvania’s 19 electoral votes would go to the Democrat.

The left wants this. Watch the exchange below:
