In previous articles we pointed out that Democrats have been trying to game our election system by importing immigrants and by favoring fringe party voters. Importing between 5 and 11 million illegal immigrants (5 million by the Census, and 11 million by others) over four years is perhaps the most successful Democrat effort, but the longest running attempt to game the system is called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC).
With NPVIC, Democrats promote the notion that the winner of the Presidential election should be the candidate who gets the most votes nationally. But in 20 of our 60 presidential elections the candidate with the “most votes” got less than fifty percent. In most other countries, when candidates get less than 50%, there is a runoff election or a coalition government. In the US this lack of a clear majority is resolved by giving the States control over how they cast their electoral votes – proportionally to the candidates, or winner take all.
Proponents of NPVIC claim misleadingly, as others have, that slavery was at the root of the Electoral College. But the three fifths compromise was proposed by New Jersey with far fewer slaves than Virginia, and James Madison’s Virginia Plan proposed allocating votes based on taxes and did not count slaves at all.
As Madison clarifies in Federalist #39, the 13 colonies considered themselves “Free and Independent States.” The States opposed having their affairs dictated by other States or by far-away bureaucrats, and sought to limit the power of the federal government. Section 8 of the Constitution limits the federal government and the Bill of Rights reserves other powers to individual states.
Hypocritically, some Connecticut Democrats recently proclaimed “The United States of America is a republic with a limited federal government” as their comrades voted to override local government and limit protest rights after giving away Connecticut's self-determination by voting for the NPVIC, with the help of a rogue Republican.
To convince the less informed, the NPVIC is supported by misleading charts which compare electoral college votes to total population, omitting that the population includes significant numbers of non-citizens and minors, and that registration and turnout rates vary widely. The chart below compares the percentage of the electoral votes to votes cast in 2024.
As shown, it’s Florida, Pennsylvania and other swing states who are most disadvantaged by the Electoral College because of their high turnout. But the high turnout is due to their status as swing states, and so despite being underrepresented in the Electoral College, those States’ voters matter most.
Here are a few of the other major problems with the NPVIC:
In the 2025 legislative session, State Sen. Rob Sampson and State Reps. Anne Dauphinais, Gale Mastrofrancesco, Craig Fishbein, Vincent Candelora, Jason Perillo, David Rutigliano, Kurt Vail and Doug Dubitsky all introduced bills to withdraw from the NPVIC (SB326, H5158, HB5359, HB5682, HB6029).
It's not the first time Republicans have tried to withdraw (e.g., HB5083, HB 5132).
Chaos and crisis aside, mass illegal immigration may have backfired for the Democrats, especially as the bills become due. And, since they have agreed to cede their State’s Electoral College votes, Democrat voters in Connecticut and other deep blue NPVIC states should remember that under NPVIC their vote for Kamala Harris would have been ignored in 2024 and their State’s Electoral vote given to Trump who won the popular vote. If the NPVIC had been in effect in 2024, Trump would have gotten 81% of the electoral vote, with only three current non NPVIC states (MN, NH, VA) casting their votes for Harris.
