On February 18, the Washington State Senate passed SB 5628, the National Popular Vote Plan for presidential elections. The vote was 30-18. All the Republicans voted “No” (except for one who was absent), and two Democrats also voted “No” (Senators Hargrove and Spanel). All other Democrats voted “Yes.”

The Washington State House has a large Democratic majority, and the Governor is a Democrat, so this bill will probably be signed into law soon.
