An interesting twist on the “swing states are against the NPVIC” narrative is currently playing out in Nevada. My read of this narrative goes as follows: swing states, including Nevada, will find their importance in Presidential elections diminished, and therefore their influence and ability to garner patronage diminished, if the NPVIC comes into effect and survives legal challenges and so on.

Persuaded by this narrative (I presume), then-Governor of Nevada Steve Sisolak vetoed the NPVIC bill back in May of 2019 after it had passed both houses of the Nevada legislature.

Now, five years later, after passing through the legislature a second time, accession to the NPVIC via an amendment to the state constitution of Nevada will be a ballot question in November 2026 for voters — if it passes again in the 2025-2026 legislative session for a third time. [0]
