Change is in the wind

In March of last year I wrote about a movement to get rid of the Electoral College - the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). The Compact is an agreement among a group of states and the District of Columbia to award all their electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the overall popular vote in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

At that time twelve states and D.C. had signed on. Today it is fifteen states and D.C. Together, they have 196 electoral votes, which is 36.4% of the Electoral College and 72.6% of the 270 votes needed to give the compact legal force.

Maybe we will see a change.
