Oh shit there are! Wow! /s
If one of them could get to the 5% popular vote…yada yada. Yeah I know. 2016 was the closest they got in a long time. I voted 3rd party then because I’m in a deeply red state so it wasn’t a throw away vote or preventing the Dems from winning. They didn’t get there. I’m am very convinced at this point you must fix the voting system before 3rd parties have any viability. FPTP is outdated at this point and the added layer of the EC is doing more harm than good now. It was a good idea for a different time, but today is different and the system should evolve. RCV/IRV has shown very clear benefits to enable more than 2 options to be viable on a ballot.
That’s because California (like the majority of other states) assigns all of their EC votes to the winner of the popular vote within state. Only Nebraska and Maine split their delegates right now.
The popular vote compact is not in effect yet. They don’t have the 270 votes needed to do it. The last sentence of the first paragraph in the Wikipedia article you linked to says so.
