In this episode of Smart Girl Politics, host Terri Kristoff warns viewers about a controversial new law passed in Virginia that could undermine the electoral process in the 2028 presidential election. She explains how House Bill 965, signed by Governor Abigail Spanberger, enacts Virginia into the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact—a plan that would award all of Virginia’s electoral votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote, regardless of state-level results. Kristoff argues this effectively nullifies individual votes in states that support a candidate who loses the national popular vote, calling it a power grab by Democrats who, she claims, change the rules when they can't win fairly. She frames the move as part of a broader effort to centralize power in coastal urban centers and disenfranchise rural and conservative voters, while also criticizing the Founding Fathers' original design of the Electoral College. The episode builds urgency by noting the compact is just 48 electoral votes short of triggering full implementation, with 19 states and D.C. already on board. Kristoff urges viewers to stay informed, vote, educate others, and pray for the future of democracy in Virginia.
Virginia has joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which could award its electoral votes to the national popular vote winner—even if a different candidate wins in Virginia.
The compact won't take effect until states with 270 electoral votes join, and Virginia’s addition brings the total to 222, dangerously close to the threshold.
Critics argue the compact undermines the Electoral College and disproportionately disadvantages rural and conservative voters.
The move is framed as a political strategy by Democrats to bypass state-level voting outcomes when they lose in key states.
Host Terri Kristoff urges viewers to stay vigilant, vote, educate others, and engage with the political process to resist what she calls a 'stealth' attack on individual votes.
The Future of Virginia's Vote in 2028
“Even though J.D. Vance won in our state, hypothetically, got our electoral votes and got, in fact... the number of electoral votes needed to win the presidency, Gavin Newsom won the popular vote. We've seen this happen several times where the person who wins the popular vote doesn't win the Electoral College votes. That's how our system is set up.”
Abigail Spanberger and HB 965: The Compact's Enactment
Kristoff details how Governor Abigail Spanberger signed HB 965, officially enacting Virginia into the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which would reallocate electoral votes based on national popular vote totals.
The Mechanics and Implications of the Compact
“This is not what the founding fathers had in mind. You know what I find really distasteful besides the Democrat Party as a whole? That in the year that we're celebrating, the 250th anniversary of the founding of our country... Virginia Democrats are taking aim at you and your vote.”
The Legal and Constitutional Debate
Kristoff presents the argument that the compact is constitutionally questionable, citing Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution, while also highlighting the political motivations behind the move.
Call to Action: Vote, Educate, Pray
“You need to tell your family, your friends and your neighbors about what's going on because they might not have hurt. CBS News isn't going to tell them. Fox News might. MS whatever it's called. They're not going to.”
“Your vote, null and void.”
“This is not what the founding fathers had in mind.”
“When Democrats can't win, they change the rules.”
