Democrats Just Won the Midterms. Their Next Move Is to Let California Invent the National Popular Vote.
Benny Johnson put the warning out plain on X. Democrats are going to try to end the Electoral College through the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Participating states would hand every one of their electors to the national popular vote winner, not the candidate who actually carried their state. They claim the governors and legislatures are now in place to hit the threshold. Smaller states and swing states become spectators. The system gets rigged so the party that runs the big blue cities never loses again.
That post is not theory. It is the plan that just got closer. Stolen elections have consequences, and the Democrats are moving to turn America into a Marxist nation. if Trump does not stop them, we will see revolution of one form or another, so hold on to your 2A rights, and we will win the final revolution when it all blows. Assuming Trump is weak and lets them complete the steal in January.
Eighteen states and the District of Columbia have already joined. They control 222 electoral votes. The compact activates at 270. After last week’s midterms, Democrats hold full trifectas in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Those five states carry 61 electoral votes. Add them and the total hits 283. The compact could be live in time for 2028.
Under the compact, participating states would award all their electors to the national popular vote winner instead of the candidate who won their state. Democrats claim they have enough governors and legislatures to reach the threshold. This would make smaller and swing states irrelevant effectively rigging the system so Democrats could never lose again. This is insane.

Under the current Electoral College, California’s problems stay in California. The state has roughly 23.3 million registered voters. It does not require photo ID for most ballots. A recent push for voter ID went down hard. If California counts noncitizens, the dead, or double voters, those extra ballots can only move California’s 54 electors. New York works the same way with its 28. Fraud has a ceiling.
Switch to a national popular vote and the ceiling disappears. California and New York become the national ballot factory. No other state can audit them. No other state can reject their totals. Once the compact is active, every member state is forced to follow the number those two states report, no matter what their own voters chose. Honest Elections Project put it clean: if Pennsylvania votes red but the national number comes back blue, Pennsylvania officials cast their electors blue anyway.
Electoral College keeps fraud local. National popular vote makes California’s rolls the national score.
California’s rolls are already large. Imagine the state simply reports 50 million ballots. There is no voter ID to stop it and no national mechanism to check the claim. New York can do the same. The compact states then award their electors based on that inflated total. Every smaller state that joined gets dragged along. The Founders built the Electoral College so one state could not dictate the outcome to the rest. This compact removes that brake.
X is already full of the pushback. Republican legislatures are being told to ban the compact outright, along with ballot harvesting, same-day registration, and noncitizen voting. Multiple posts list it as a top priority for any GOP statehouse still standing. One user noted the obvious: under a popular vote system, a corrupt state can add hundreds of thousands of ballots and change the national result. Under the Electoral College, the damage stops at the state line.
The biggest blue states already inside the compact. California and New York sit at the top of the list.
Last week’s results handed Democrats the legislative keys in enough states to finish the job. They do not need a constitutional amendment. They only need five more signatures and the legal challenges that will follow. The Electoral College still exists on paper. The outcome would be decided by whoever can produce the largest unverified pile of ballots in California and New York.
Trump has the window. Republican governors and legislatures that remain can pass bans on joining the compact before the new Democratic majorities act. Federal pressure on voter rolls, citizenship verification, and ID requirements can still be applied while the courts sort the rest. Do nothing and the next presidential election runs on whatever number Sacramento and Albany decide to report.
The map that protected the states for two centuries is about to be rewritten by the states that refuse to check who is voting. California does not need 50 million real voters. It only needs the rest of the country to accept the number it prints.
