Democrats would love nothing more than to take vast swaths of the country, the red states they so deeply despise, and rob us of our right to representative government. They haven't been exactly shy about it, either, with promises to pack the U.S. Supreme Court, add D.C. and Puerto Rico as two more blue states, and to abolish the Electoral College.
What they want is for New York and California, two highly dysfunctional blue states, to tell the good folks in Iowa how to live their lives. It's highly unlikely, bordering on impossible, that the Left will ever get the majority needed to amend the Constitution and actually abolish the Electoral College.
That being said, they're trying to find ways to get around it, like the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC).
There’s actually a chance the president could be elected by the popular vote in 2028 instead of the fundamentally undemocratic Electoral College. https://t.co/r2bAQMsx2W

On April 13, Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed a bill making Virginia the 18th state to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
That’s an agreement among states to elect the president by the popular vote rather than the Electoral College.
The compact goes into effect when enough states sign onto it and reach a total of 270 electoral votes—the number needed to elect the president.
With Virginia’s support, states in the compact now have 222 electoral votes.
And the results of the midterms could push the popular vote effort over the top.
If Democrats take control of state governments in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, or Arizona, and legislatures in those states adopt the compact, that would put it over 270.
And if that happens, the legal challenges would hamstring this for years, until the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional and shut it down. States can also withdraw from the NPVIC with notice.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton had 2.9 million more popular votes than Donald Trump.

4 million of those votes came from the two most politically corrupt big cities in the USA. One is practically synonymous with voter fraud.

You'll notice the Democrats never complain about the Electoral College when their candidates win. Then, the system works just fine. But the Democratic Party's motto has long been, 'Heads we win, tails you lose.'
And Republican voters lose. Every time.
Right now, the odds of the NPVIC happening before 2028 are merely more Democratic wish-casting, as Republican gains in redistricting — and the Democrats' refusal to excise the radicals from the party — have set it up for what may be moderate gains in November. Betting site Kalshi says the odds of this fantasy happening in two years is around 13 percent.
If that.
But this is why local and state elections matter just as much, if not more, than the big national races. If the Democrats succeed in flipping state houses, they will try to rob red state voters of their voice in D.C. They will call that fairness, democracy, and justice. As we've learned with the Virginia redistricting debacle, the Democrats have one guiding principle: unfettered power.
They want to rule over us, our laws and Constitution be damned. And they'll do whatever it takes to get there. It's up to us, in November and always, to stop them.
