TL;DR Summary
Virginia became the latest state to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, bringing the alliance to 222 electors and paving the way for awarding all electors to the nationwide popular-vote winner once 270 electors are on board; supporters say it would ensure every vote counts equally and reflect public preference, while legal and constitutional questions remain and momentum hinges on more states joining.
