Amendment XIV

Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

If a state decides to allow the rest of the country choose its electors instead of its own citizens, then it should lose all representation in the House per the 14th Amendment.

Sounds pretty straightforward to me. If you are a Massachusetts voter and Ol'Debil signs onto an interstate compact with New York to kinda' adjust the way electors are selected then it looks like Massachusetts and New York would lose seats in the House of Representatives.

While we control the House it seems to me we would want to ENCOURAGE Blue States to join into such an interstate compact so we could kick out a substantial number of their Representatives!
