The odd thing is this could potentially help the republicans as well. You could have a situation a Democrat could have won with the EC votes, but because of the popular vote, they flip to help the GOP. It’s a set up for another way to lose.
It really just doesn’t make sense to me unless you’re so short sighted you’re pissed about 2016 and are only focused on 2020.

The rats are not going to be consistent. If this compact were EVER to benefit republicans, it would be immediately dropped.
Not very likely. In the event that a Republican candidate wins the popular vote, the Democrats will just say that this scheme is unconstitutional, or come up with some other excuse, and refuse to comply with it.
‘The odd thing is this could potentially help the republicans as well.’
again, the real reason why this is an issue at all is due to the fact that Republicans cannot win the national popular vote...and this compact does nothing to prevent the Repubs trying harder to in fact win the popular vote...
