Democrats see path to bypass the Electoral College

Original: We may end up having enough legislatures flipping Democrat... TO OBLITERATE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE Note: and Mike is not

Supporters of the National Popular Vote compact are pointing to a possible scenario in which enough state legislatures flip to Democrats in the 2026 midterms to push the interstate agreement past the threshold needed to make the popular vote winner president. The claim notes Texas is not even counted in that path, and links to the compact's state-by-state status.

Why now: Discussion of the 2026 midterms has revived attention on the National Popular Vote effort to effectively bypass the Electoral College.
