CA can change the law back.

If the Electoral College is ever abolished, then about four states will determine who will be president: California, Florida, Texas, and New York. Can you see a Republican ever being elected president again? I don’t.

And then we'll Civil War II. It seems to me that the continual Leftist/Democrat Party attacks on constitutional government and the quickening disintegration of American society is leading our nation to this outcome.

I believe that America will continue its polarization. I fear that the worst is yet to come.

Interesting point but I do not believe this would come into the realm of federal supremacy like the compacts which are forbidden under the constitution. This is murky stuff for me here but I don’t see how this is different than any of the dozens of other organizations formed by the states. It would not interfere with federal authority in any way.

Nor would it be necessary for any states to carry this effort. Private organizations could do the job as effectively and would have not constitutional prohibitions standing in their way. And, of course, the states could do it one by one.
