The Democratic National Committee is hiring IT people for these positions:

The Daily Wire, a conservative blog, posted an e-mail purportedly from Madeleine Leader, the DNC's Data Services Manager, showing her announcing the openings and writing

I personally would prefer that you not forward to cisgender straight while males, since they're already in the majority.

The Daily Wire blogger posted a different screenshot of the e-mail on Twitter.

    Oh, they wouldn't. But the thing is, we don't really need them to, since California already joined and they just need 50%+1 electoral votes. Texas, Florida, Arizona, Indiana, and Michigan would get it to exactly the magic number right now.

    And actually Rhode Island has already passed it.

    Psephologist Nate Silver wrote that, as swing states are unlikely to support a compact that reduces their influence, the compact cannot succeed without adoption by "red states".[71] As of September 2017 all the states that have adopted the compact are "blue states", ranking within the 14 strongest vote shares for Barack Obama in the 2012 Presidential Election. Republican-run chambers have passed the plan in two states consistently won by Republicans – Arizona (the house in 2016) and Oklahoma (the senate in 2014) – and in New York, where the compact was approved in 2014 and made permanent in 2016.
