A Mother Jones article argues the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact may soon have enough states to end the Electoral College: 18 states including Virginia have pledged 222 electoral votes, 48 short of the 270 needed, and Democrats took trifecta control of Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada after Tuesday's wave election. The magazine says the system has favored white supremacy and left most voters ignored, and forecasts Democrats will have the votes by January.
