A Truthout article argues that new Democratic trifecta governments won in the November 2026 midterms could let Democrats make the Electoral College obsolete through the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which needs 270 electoral votes to take effect. With 18 states and D.C. already signed on for 222 votes, new trifectas in Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania — holding 50 votes — would provide the 48 more needed, possibly by the 2028 election, while a constitutional amendment remains unlikely.
