I could be wrong about NC but generally bills passed by one house in a state legislature do not carry over to future sessions. In other words, the Senate would have to pass it again (along with the House and signed by governor) to become state law.
In February 2019, Senators Nickel, Chaudhuri, Waddell, and Searcy introduced the National Popular Vote bill into the North Carolina Senate.
Last time they checked in NC the polls showed 74% overall support for a national popular vote for President.
Imagine an election that sets up CO to be the deciding factor in the EC. Democrat wins the state but a Republican wins the popular vote.
That is obviously possible. I am sure they are aware of the scenarios, which is why it is supported by reps from both parties. They figure it would benefit their party in given scenarios. Its a gamble.
Not a leftist, just tired of lazy/ignorant people asking others to spoon-feed them with information they could just as easily Google themselves.
You're most certainly a leftist, you just accused a poster here of being in Moscow because you don't agree with his comment. That's ignorant on an epic level.

So you admit, it is partisan politics. What is best for the party not the nation.

Leftists like those pushing for Popular vote instead of Electoral Vote want one party Democrat rule because they agree with the liberal/progressive policies even though most of the country does not. The metro area population centers would control the entire country. New York, and L.A. It doesn't matter to Leftists that the rest of the country would be disenfranchised, because they believe the ends justify the means as their way is correct.
It is how children view the world. They don't get their way, or disagree, and they have a temper tantrum, name call, and generally make everyone miserable until they get what they want.
It’s called the Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It’s simple. A state’s electoral college votes are allocated to whoever wins the national popular vote. Period. It’s constitutional and some prominent conservatives are pushing or it.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) signed into law Friday a bill that would award the state’s Electoral College votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote.
Polis signed the measure after both chambers of the state’s legislature passed the bill last month along party lines, with Democrats pulling heavily for the measure.
Colorado now joins 11 other states and the District of Columbia as part of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
Of course it's constitutional. Look at the electoral map of the 1860 election.
