National Popular Vote Could Decide President by 2024: Will It Be Too Late?

The National Popular Vote could decide the presidency by the 2024 Presidential election. All through an interstate national popular vote compact, where states are pledging to give their electoral college votes to the winner of the national popular vote.

Do you think a National popular vote will save us from Donald Trump?

It's possible that it will get worse.

I'd love to ditch the Electoral College, but we should not look at that as our salvation.

But yes, I do believe the NPV compact is a good thing. When it passes in enough states it will be good to get some actual democracy going around here.
