National Popular Vote Plan Bills Introduced in Eight States, So Far

Although state legislatures are barely beginning to work, in at least eight states bills have been introduced for the National Popular Vote Plan. They are Florida (HB 39), Kansas (HB 2002), Minnesota (SF 18), Missouri (HB 267), Pennsylvania (HB 2922), South Carolina (HB 3187), Texas (SB 130), and Virginia (SB 1101).

Of these eight states, the only one with a Democratic majority in each house of the legislature is Virginia. Virginia also has a Democratic Governor. Thanks to John Koza for the list of bills.
