Wikipedia has an extensive discussion of the National Popular Voting Interstate Compact, and the legality of compacts in general.

The classification of compacts is not as simple as it sounds. And, it is different from model “Universal Laws,” many of which exist. In other words, “Fifty State Carry” isn’t equivalent to “National Popular Vote Compact.”

This is unconstitutional.

I’m a Nevadan. We’ve been taken over by the Communists. And I tell you what, they had all the help in the world by our Republican leadership.

A close election will be recounted for years.

I do not understand how this can possibly be constitutional. We vote for electors, not president. This is a constitutional office just like senators and representatives. So how can this office be given to the people who lose? It is no different than turning over the Senator’s office to a democrat when the republican won because the democrat won in Illinois.

Will the feckless GOP do anything???????

****************

No. They might whine a little and say its unfair, but then they will quickly go right back to looking for “common ground” with the Democrats.

The GOP is totally useless. We need a new party.

I wonder how much they got paid for selling their citizens votes to California? Do the Citizens get a cut?

They need a national election for their senators, or just not send any to Washington. They are now just a territory and no longer an independent sovereign state. They are the Puerto Rico of the west.

First of all...although I'm no Constitutional scholar it's my understanding that this multi-state agreement requires Congressional approval to pass muster.

And apart from the Constitutional question...has any state that DJT carried in '16 signed on to this yet? I don't recall any that did.

Don’t know if it was the cartoonist’s intent, but Mexico is shown in the same size range as California, Texas and Florida—perhaps a nod to the illegal votes in the US from citizens of that country?

While the effort has been billed by organizers as bipartisan

While being passed only in blue states by one party (as seen in CO and NV now.) Yeah, sure.

Despite the MSM's continuing state by state drama...

Still, the Compact is only making traction in blue states who did not vote for Trump. Still... the leftist suicide pact continues to play out in those blue states - while the firewall of red states is still holding.
