Here you go. Of course what's to keep a state that agrees to something today to years later different leaders not to agree then. Has 209 electoral votes now so 61 short.
The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) is an interstate compact initiative to award member states' Electoral College votes to the presidential ticket that receives the most votes nationwide. Although the U.S. Constitution allows states to determine how to award their electoral votes, most states have awarded the full slate of electors to the winner of the popular vote.[1] The NPVIC would go into effect if states representing at least 270 Electoral College votes adopt legislation committing them to the compact.[2][3]
As of August 2024, 17 states and Washington, D.C., had adopted legislation to join the NPVIC. Together, they represent 209 Electoral College votes—77% of the 270 votes needed for the agreement to go into effect.[2][3]
In four elections between 1876 and 2020, a presidential candidate won the Electoral College and lost the popular vote. Proponents of the NPVIC have pointed to these examples as evidence that the current system of awarding electors is flawed.[4] NPVIC opponents have said the Compact would change the way elections are run, encouraging candidates to focus on the most populous regions of the country at the expense of rural states.
As of August 2024, including D.C., an average of one state had joined the Compact each year since it was first introduced in 2006. All governors who signed legislation adopting the NPVIC were members of the Democratic Party.
