Tuesday’s wave election swept Democrats into power in Congress. But the most seismic result for American politics and democracy may come out of the battleground states where Democrats just won trifecta control by taking both state houses and the governor’s mansion: Come January, Democratic legislators will have the votes to elect the next president by the popular vote.

State lawmakers could circumvent the Electoral College by enacting what’s known as the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

Remarkable, isn’t it? “Swing states” would disappear. National campaigns would be aimed at individuals rather than states. Your vote in red Oklahoma or blue New Hampshire would count as much as a vote in purple Pennsylvania, whether you’re a minority “dot” or not.

No one was thinking about Texas as a possible signatory to this at all. Then—pow.

No. It would be just like it is in European Countries. The Big cities get EVERYTHING and the people that live away from big cities get nothing unless they move to the big cities. Campaigning would only take place in the big cities. There are places in Europe that have not changed for 100 years. They don't have running water or electricity.
