They should have waited for the coming thousands of Congolese border jumpers to arrive in Portland. They can get on EBT, register Democrat and then it will be a piece of cake.
Liberal heads will explode in the next election when Trump wins the popular vote and all these clowns realize they accidentally turned their state back to red. LOL.
Then they’ll decide that their new agreement only applies if democrats win the popular vote. WATCH FOR IT.
It’s not going to be in effect by the next election.
That would expose fly-over country to the tyranny of rule of the east and left coast mega liberal hell-hole cities.
I have no idea why anyone thinks this is a good thing. It’s basically saying “Our state gives up it’s voice and right to choose, we’ll let the other states do that for us.”
Of course it’s liberals not playing the Electoral College chess game well and just wanting a popular vote. That could backfire too.
They will simply instruct the SecyState to not certify the vote saying, “The compact would be unconstitutional. We will continue as if it didn’t exist.”
FTFY
All of the states that have ratified the compact so far voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
IOW, they favor suicide.
North Korea elects their president by direct popular vote. Iraq used to.
The compact does not take effect until states with a total of 270 electoral votes have agreed. That will not happen by 2020 and probably never. The small states have wised up.
Good
Its an illegal effort to avoid the proper manner of amending the constitution
This may be a clue to how globalist think. Give up your rights to a larger government entity and somehow that will benefit them.
The big obstacle keeping them from getting to 270 is the so-called blue wall of PA-MI-WI. These states - though blue leaning in Presidential elections - currently have GOP-controlled legislatures. If these legislatures fall into rat hands we will be in great danger of them getting to 270.
So its ironic that the blue wall gave us Trump and is currently functioning as a red wall protecting us from the compact...

The constitution leaves it up to the states’ legislatures to send whatever electors they want to the convention. They don’t even have to go by who won the state vote if they don’t want to.
I know this is a trick by the democrats to get more electors, but it’s not illegal.

Getting rid of the Electoral Collage will be the end of the nation as we know it.
‘Its not going to be in effect by the next election.’
it’s mind boggling how many people on this forum seem to not understand that simple fact...
