The only way to stop it is to win the majority. If California’s and New York’s votes went to Trump because they did this they would rethink their strategy.
The Constitution’s Compact Clause provides that “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress…enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State.”[18] The Founders created the Compact Clause because they feared that compacting states would threaten the supremacy of the federal government in matters of foreign affairs and relations among the states.[19] If states could make agreements among themselves, they could damage the nation’s federalist structure. Populist states, for example, cannot agree to have their U.S. Senators vote to seat only one Senator from a less populous state...
“Thus a state has ignored the voters in favor of voters in other states.”
This makes perfect sense to a party that wants to elevate illegal foreigners above American citizens.
That sure cuts down the driving time from NY to Texas. LOL
Very well argued.
Here’s a question for you: Suppose the Democrats take the Senate in 2020 (or 2022), and Congress APPROVES the NPV interstate compact?
Would that make it Constitutional?
The only votes that will matter will be New York and California if the EC is dissolved.
And when those states give illegal aliens, felons in jail and crazy people the right to vote while scrubbing the ticket of Trump or anyone else conservative....well....
But that's not because of the compacts clause.
THat's because Article V says "no State shall be deprived of equal suffrage in the Senate without its consent".
You will have to do better than that, since the next Democrat Congress will undoubtedly approve the compact.
“‘It is inconceivable that guaranties embedded in the Constitution of the United States may thus be manipulated out of existence.’”

In ‘92 when Clinton won with less than 50% of the popular vote the Ministry of Truth blathered on and on about how wonderful the Electoral College was because “it magnified and legitimized his victory”.
The founders went to great lengths to ensure that shenanigans would not succeed in upsetting the republican structure of our government. They knew that some would try. Amazing how prescient they were.
There’s more to it than this. The electoral college prevented states like California from stealing the election with illegal votes. Eliminate it, and those states will be able to use fraud and illegal votes to win at the national level, rather than just at the state level.

So when does this get challenged in the courts — after the election? Would be a disaster.
It's probably not justiciable until it actually takes effect, which is when the signatories represent a majority of electoral votes.
Thats the way I feel. After all, they did do a whole lot of above ground tests back in the day.
