Democrats’ victories in Pennsylvania and other swing states have renewed interest in an alternative to the Electoral College: the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The latest story from The Capital-Star’s Peter Hall breaks down the concept, which entails member states committing their Electoral College votes to the presidential candidate who receives the most votes across all 50 states. Folo PA features Pennsylvania-focused audio journalism that emphasizes context, accountability and community impact. The podcast is hosted and produced by the Capital-Star's Audio Reporter Emily Previti, with editing by Editor-in-Chief Tim Lambert.
