@glyph @phildini @hynek Yes, Texas alone could trip the popular-vote compact for 2028. And the Supreme Court can’t mess much with it, since permission for interstate compacts just requires the “consent of Congress”, which means a Democratic Congress can do that without even needing Trump to sign off on it.
Another fun fact: the President’s consent is not required for Congress to admit new states.
@glyph @phildini @hynek Five states (Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona) gained a Democrat majority in both houses of their legislatures and in their governor's offices, and those five states together have enough electoral votes to push the National Popular Vote effort over the line. https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Voters-in-5-states-create-path-for-fixing-the-Electoral-College-in-2027.html?soid=1116971938310&aid=aRtQZbZ1HSA
In fact any one of Nevada, Arizona, or Wisconsin could fail to pass it and the other four states would still be enough.
@hynek after January, some things might stop getting worse every week
