      It is moving slow, but the progress is substantial.

      The compact takes effect when states representing a majority of electoral votes – 270 of 538 – pass the legislation and thus would determine the winner of the presidential contest. With Virginia, the compact now has 222 electors.

      The Wikipedia article shows that it is currently being considered by legislatures in states having an additional 45 electors. It’s a lot closer than I would have guessed.
