VA Bill Is Latest Effort by Democrats to Change Electoral College, Taking Away Voice of Rural Americans

A proposed bill by the Democrat-controlled legislature in Virginia is the latest attempt to bypass a key purpose of the Electoral College which was created by America's Founding Fathers to give all Americans a voice in presidential elections.

The proposed measure known as SB 399 called the "National Popular Vote Compact," (NPVIC) would place the Commonwealth in an agreement with several other states that would change how electoral votes are awarded to a candidate in a presidential election.

Instead of giving the electoral votes to the candidate who won the popular vote in Virginia, the state would give its votes to the candidate who received the most popular votes across the nation.
