So far, 11 states have passed laws implementing the National Popular Vote Compact, and it has passed in at least one chamber of 12 other state legislatures, four of which are red states. It will go into effect when enough states have passed it to total 270 electoral votes.

The fact that every one of the eleven jurisdictions (ten states plus the District of Columbia) is a deep "blue" state in presidential elections should have been the first clue to the author of this garbage that this idea is idiotic.

The compact isn't even legally binding. In a presidential election year, any state that signs it can simply drop out of it between Election Day and the Electoral College vote through a vote of their own state legislature.

I thought the states were forbidden to enter such compacts.
