The transcript discusses the allocation of Electoral College votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote. It covers the legislation that would allow Virginia to join the national popular vote interstate compact, where states allocate their electoral votes to the popular vote winner. The compact becomes effective when states with a majority of electoral votes, 270 out of 538, adopt it. Currently, 15 states and Washington D.C. have enacted the bill, totaling 196 electoral votes. For Virginia to join, the measure must pass the Senate and be signed by Governor Ralph Northam.
