The Washington Post reports that the movement to award the presidency to the national popular vote winner gained momentum after Democrats won full control of state governments in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, five uncommitted states with 61 electoral votes among them; 18 states and D.C. with 222 electoral votes have already joined, and the compact takes effect at 270. Opponents, including conservative lawyer Daniel Lennington, call the compact an illegal workaround and predict a barrage of litigation that supporters would have to win entirely.
