The radical left’s war on the American Republic just took a terrifying leap forward in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
On Tuesday, far-left Governor Abigail Spanberger officially signed legislation that would enter Virginia into the controversial National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). This dangerous move effectively strikes a match to the U.S. Constitution.
Virginia becomes the 19th jurisdiction to join the compact, bringing the total to 222 electoral votes, just 48 shy of the 270 needed to activate the plan.
According to the League of Women Voters, “Six additional states with 65 electoral votes (Arizona, Michigan, New Hampshire, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) are especially promising places for obtaining the 48 electoral votes needed before 2028.”

Under the compact, once the 270 threshold is reached:
- Participating states would award ALL their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner
- This would apply regardless of how voters in their own state actually voted
- In effect, state election results could be rendered meaningless
The Democrats’ big-city machines and open-border policies will decide who becomes President.
This is the same dangerous compact The Gateway Pundit has exposed time and again as a direct attack on the Republic. Back in 2019, we reported how Nevada’s Democrat Governor Steve Sisolak had the good sense to veto the scheme before it could gut smaller states’ influence.
We covered the federal court rulings that threatened to unravel the entire leftist power grab. And we’ve documented how radical Democrats in states like Minnesota under Tim Walz have tried to ram it through as part of their broader election-rigging agenda.
Now Spanberger, who barely won her own gubernatorial race in a state that was trending conservative until the usual Democrat election shenanigans, has stabbed Virginia patriots in the back.
