Democrats reach threshold to activate National Popular Vote compact

Original: Democrats Win Enough Seats Nationwide to End Electoral College Enough state legislatures and gubernatorial offices have

Democrats have won enough state legislative seats and governor's offices to reach the threshold needed for the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, according to a New Republic report. The compact would commit member states to award their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner, effectively neutralising the Electoral College once states totaling 270 electoral votes join. The claim is drawing attention from US political observers online.

Why now: The reported electoral math suggests the compact may have crossed the 270-electoral-vote threshold needed to bypass the Electoral College.
