The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

The College will be abolished by 2035. It will hinge on how strong the Democratic majority is but believe me, the minute they reach majority party status, and have enough states, they will pass this so fast that it will cause whiplash, lol.

It will be similar to the 1960s, where a raft of Constitutional amendments were passed under heavy Democratic majorities.

You mean like the ERA and the DC Representation Amendment?

The amendments that passed in the 60's and 70's  had bipartisan support.  Right now, abolishing the Electoral College is a partisan issue.

Yeah. And no, I believe the Democrats will be powerful enough and the GOP weak enough in the 2030s that this gains serious traction. Or the Democrats pass the compact and just make the College toothless and the GOP gives in and enacts the law.

Bipartisanship is dead, yes, lol, in the era that I'm thinking of. So will the GOP.

There are more than enuf strongly Safe R States to block adoption of an amendment. While not quite as many, there are also enuf strongly Safe D States to block unless an amendment be bipartisan in support.

By my count, the Democrats would sit 2 states shy of ratification, if you have all the Obama states he won in 2008 or 2012, certain states out of the South, the Sunbelt, the usual Democratic states, and the Midwest.

Probably, they'll have enough control to ram through a slightly less controversial idea, such as reweighting the electoral college to benefit the popular vote winner. Regardless, something will be done, most likely, since a political majority will not forget (or forgive) two presidential elections that should have gone their way.
