Democrats Are *This* Close to Subverting the 2028 Presidential Election – RedState
In my latest podcast episode, I talk about the pact between blue states to bypass the Electoral College in all future presidential elections. Virginia’s unpopular new governor, Democrat Abigail Spanberger, this week joined the Commonwealth in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which commits Virginia to awarding its 13 electoral votes to the candidate who wins the popular vote.
This should make every voter’s blood boil.
To be clear, the pact does not take effect immediately. It will only begin once enough participating states have joined to collectively control 270 electoral votes, the number needed for a candidate to win the presidency. Currently, the pact still falls short of that threshold, but only by a few slim votes. A few more states sign up, and it’s game over.
That’s why this underappreciated development is important now, before the change is reversed. Once enough left-wing states sign, the mechanism will be in place. At this point, voters in blue states might wake up one day and find that the election outcome in their own state no longer determines where their electoral votes go.
And it’s a stunning betrayal of voters.
This also fits into a larger pattern. When Democrats don’t like the rules, they change them. If the Electoral College stands in the way of the desired outcome, it seeks a workaround. If voters get in the way, they redefine which votes actually count. If the constitutional structures defeat their agenda, they attack the structures.
Virginia has already seen a lot from the radical New Democratic regime. On weapons, on redistricting, on electoral rules, the message is the same: the people are a problem to be managed, not citizens to be respected.
The national popular vote pact fits perfectly into this state of mind.

And here’s the part that Virginians should find most insulting: This was done with remarkably little public attention. Most voters have no idea what the pact is, how it works or what it might mean for their own vote. This is no coincidence. The less people understand it, the easier it is to sell it as a harmless procedural tweak instead of what it really is: a backdoor attempt to replace the will of Virginia voters in presidential elections with the will of elites.
You don’t have to be a constitutionalist to understand the problem.
If Virginia votes for Candidate A, Virginia’s electoral votes should go to Candidate A. Everything else is a deliberate departure from the will of the voters.
Supporters of the pact might insist that it is perfectly legal. Critics will say this invites constitutional challenges and undermines the federal concept of presidential elections. This legal battle will be long and complicated. But the political and moral question is much simpler: Virginia Democrats are telling you that your vote is theirs for reapportionment.
Difficult pass.
All Americans should pay close attention to this. They should talk about it, ask questions, and make sure their friends and neighbors understand exactly what was done in their name.
Once politicians convince voters that statewide election results don’t really matter, the next thing to go is trust in the entire system (which has already weakened for good reasons).
It’s a dangerous game Democrats are playing, and they seem quietly confident they’ll win.
