The election results are so overwhelming that they raise possibilities which were previously nearly unthinkable.  One such proposal is Professor Amar’s own National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which now moves into the spotlight with several trifecta-enabled Democratic states tempted to join the fold.  The media is turning to Akhil for his take, and what better way to learn about it than on our podcast, as we take our time and explore the background, complexities, and current thinking on this vital topic. Meanwhile, we also look back a week at a remarkable set of predictions and begin to lay out some of the other remarkable aspects of this democratic dynamo.
