so 206 from this method and what if the Dem candidate actually wins some other states and it totals more than 270? that 206 or whatever number it comes to will count for some of their total possibly wrongfully alotted Electoral Votes.
No, that’s a common misperception that’s mainly due to bad reporting. We’ve seen news story after story about Delaware, Colorado etc voting to give away their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote... but the fine print in bills that have been passed is that they’ll do it ONLY if enough other states constituting at least 270 agree to do it too. As such, the compact isn’t in effect unless they get to 270, and they’re not going to get there.
