      It’s literally pending in enough states to be enacted nationwide. If only 270 EC Votes get pledged to the popular winner then the popular winner gets the presidency every time. As long as it doesn’t die in a committee then it could be up and running before the 2028 election cycle.

          It’s officially the law for 205 votes, it is pending vote in states adding up to 101, for a total of 306. And mind you, 5 states joined in the 2 year period before the 2020 election.
