This video analyzes Virginia House Bill 965, which aligns the state with the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The compact aims to award electoral votes to the national popular vote winner, bypassing the state's popular vote outcome. The speaker, William Kirk, discusses the legality and constitutionality of such state actions, referencing Article 2 of the Constitution and Supreme Court rulings like McPherson v. Blacker and Ray v. Blair, suggesting states likely possess the plenary power to enact such changes. The primary takeaway is that fighting such legislation is most effective at the local and state election level, rather than solely through the courts after enactment.

This video discusses Virginia's HB 177, which would join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
