"The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) is an agreement among a group of U.S. states and the District of Columbia to award all their electoral votes to whichever presidential candidate wins the overall popular vote in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The compact is designed to ensure that the candidate who receives the most votes nationwide is elected president, and it would come into effect only when it would guarantee that outcome. As of November 2020, it has been adopted by fifteen states and the District of Columbia. These states have 196 electoral votes, which is 36% of the Electoral College and 73% of the 270 votes needed to give the compact legal force.
Certain legal questions may affect implementation of the compact. Some legal observers believe states have plenary power to appoint electors as prescribed by the compact; others believe that the compact will require congressional consent under the Constitution's Compact Clause or that the presidential election process cannot be altered except by a constitutional amendment..."
For those who don't like links, the name of the wikipedia article is the same as the title of this thread.
The states currently in the pact hold 196 of the 270 electoral voted needed to decide the outcome of the US presidential election.
Another four states with 60 electoral votes combined are pending(In process but waiting until after this election to decide?), adoption in those states would bring the total to 266 of the 270 needed electoral votes.

He's mad I called him out for lying about your his age.
I wouldn't normally bother but he was having a go at some women about their age.
For those not in the know there's a thing commonly referred to as the wayback machine.
It's an internet archive at archive.org
Per wikipedia...
"The Wayback Machine is a digital archive of the World Wide Web, founded by the Internet Archive, a nonprofit library based in San Francisco. It allows the user to go “back in time” and see what websites looked like in the past. Its founders, Brewster Kahle and Bruce Gilliat, developed the Wayback Machine with the intention of providing "universal access to all knowledge" by preserving archived copies of defunct webpages.
Since its launch in 2001, over 463 billion pages have been added to the archive."
Tom's mad at me because I used the archive to link to his old profile from 2012 and show that he was claiming in 2012 to be several years older than he is claiming to be now.
Now he's going to try and troll me by calling me an idiot but claiming it's all in fun because of the little laughy emoticons after it.
Here' the original link I shared to his 2012 profile claiming he was 61 at time,
