In a shocking betrayal of Virginia voters, Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger has officially signed legislation binding the Commonwealth to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact – a radical scheme that would hand Virginia's electoral votes to whichever candidate wins California, New York, and other liberal population centers.
The move, signed quietly on Monday, means Virginia's Electoral College votes could go to a candidate that Virginians overwhelmingly rejected at the ballot box. Think about that, Patriots – your vote in Virginia could be completely negated by voters in San Francisco and Manhattan.
This is exactly the kind of anti-democratic power grab that the radical left has been pushing for years. Unable to win elections fairly under our Constitutional system, Democrats are now rigging the game by forcing states to ignore their own voters and bow to the coastal elite.
A Direct Attack on the Constitution
The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is nothing less than an end-run around the Electoral College without going through the proper Constitutional amendment process. It's a backdoor attempt to fundamentally transform how we elect presidents – and it's being done in state legislatures with minimal public debate.
Under this scheme, once enough states representing 270 electoral votes join the compact, all participating states would be required to award their electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote – regardless of how their own citizens voted.
"This is taxation without representation taken to its logical extreme," said one Virginia constitutional scholar. "Spanberger is telling Virginians their votes don't matter – only California's do."
The timing is particularly telling. With President Trump's decisive 2024 victory fresh in Democrats' minds, they're scrambling to change the rules for future elections. They know their radical agenda can't win in Middle America, so they're trying to make Middle America irrelevant.
Virginia patriots need to remember this betrayal come election time. Spanberger has made it crystal clear that she values the approval of coastal elites more than the voices of her own constituents. The question is: will Virginia voters let this stand?
