Oregon is a great example of why the compact is needed. Over the last eight presidential elections from 1988 to 2016, a total of 5,429,496 Oregonians cast their popular votes for the Republican ticket. And in all of that time, their efforts have failed to produce one single GOP electoral vote. Because eight out of eight times, the Democratic ticket won Oregon’s popular vote and all of its electoral votes.
Under the compact, voters gain a direct voice over the disposition of the 270 electoral votes. No voter in any state would have their vote cancelled out because they didn’t go along with the majority of others in their state.

My, that's some breathtaking "logic" there. "No voter in any state would have their vote cancelled out because they didn’t go along with the majority of others in their state"... but it is okay if their vote is cancelled out because they didn't go along with the majority of others in the nation.

We is smart!!

Let’s look at what would REALLY happen if this were in effect, using 2016: the votes comes down as it actually did. No problem, Hillary is elected. But if Trump had won the popular vote narrowly, the next day a lawsuit gets filed in federal court in San Francisco claiming the compact is unconstitutional because it wasn’t approved by Congress. The judge promptly ruled in favor. The California legislature goes into session and exercises their constitutional authority to allocate the electors as they see fit and, presto change-o, Hillary is elected. I mean really, does anyone really think this wouldn’t happen?

That quote is mind-numbingly stupid.

To her way of thinking, your vote only counts if you win?
