If Brian Schatz et al don’t outright abolish the Electoral College, the Interstate Compact might transform it into the Electoral Popular Vote College. If enough states join and pledge their votes to the winner of the national election, not their state election, The Electoral College becomes inconsequential. The popular vote winner will always win the election. Hawaii is one of 14 states in the compact:
New Mexico is the 14th state to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, bringing it to 189 electoral votes. The states will not shift their vote allocations until their combined electoral votes equal 270, enough to decide a presidential election.
California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington state and the District of Columbia have also joined the compact.
