Virginia’s Democrat leadership has moved aggressively to reshape how the state’s presidential votes are counted, advancing a scheme that would effectively sideline its own voters in favor of a national tally.

According to Gateway Pundit, far-left Governor Abigail Spanberger has signed legislation pulling Virginia into the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), a controversial agreement designed to bypass the Electoral College without amending the Constitution. By tying Virginia’s electors to the national popular vote, the compact would transform a closely divided state into a guaranteed asset for Democrats, potentially turning today’s 6D–5R U.S. House split into a lopsided “10 Democrats, 1 Republican” advantage.

Virginia is now the 19th jurisdiction to join the compact, pushing the bloc to 222 electoral votes, just 48 short of the 270 needed to trigger the plan. Under this arrangement, once that threshold is reached, “The Democrats’ big-city machines and open-border policies will decide who becomes President,” effectively allowing urban liberal strongholds to overrule more conservative states and rural communities.

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) made the political motive unmistakably clear during an appearance with Shannon Bream on Fox News Sunday, admitting the effort is about stopping President Donald Trump rather than ensuring fairness. Bream noted, “Let’s talk about the last vote there in Virginia, the presidential vote. Vice President Kamala Harris won by about 5 percentage points. So the state is relatively split with a left lean, but 90% of House members from Virginia being from one party?”

Kaine conceded the imbalance, replying, “90% of Virginians are not Democrats. That’s true.” When Bream answered, “Correct,” Kaine pivoted to Trump, claiming, “But about 100% of Virginians want election results to be respected. We’re deeply worried that Donald Trump will try to interfere with the election results this November or in 2028. Because we saw him do it before.”

“And we have to have a Congress that will stand up to it.” Kaine further charged, “In 2021, all 5 Republicans in Virginia went along with Donald Trump in his effort to overturn election results.”

Casting Republicans as the problem, Kaine framed the compact as a tool to marginalize Trump-aligned lawmakers, saying, “And so we’re giving Virginians a chance to vote, which Republican states have not done, about whether they want to have a congressional delegation that will stand up against Donald Trump’s tyranny.” For conservatives, the message is unmistakable: Democrats are willing to rewrite the rules of presidential elections to lock in power, concentrate authority in liberal population centers, and ensure that candidates like President Trump can never again rely on the constitutional protections of the Electoral College.
