National Popular Vote is a direct attack on the Constitution
Staff • May 04, 2026

Save Our States' Executive Director Trent England wrote in the Washington Examiner about the threat of the National Popular Vote interstate compact:

Tax hikes, gun grabs, more abortions — these are some of the priorities of Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) and the other Virginia Democrats now in full control of the Commonwealth. So is hijacking the Electoral College, which they advanced when Spanberger signed National Popular Vote interstate compact legislation.

Every blue state has now joined the compact, which attempts to nullify the Electoral College without amending the U.S. Constitution. If this sounds illegal, it probably is. But the strategy is to push it as far as possible, destabilizing future elections and discrediting the constitutional process. Which is to say, NPV is dangerous even if state and federal courts eventually strike it down.
