I have mixed feelings. Here in California it may get conservatives who normally don’t vote (since it is a hopeless cause here in California) to the polls. Of course with illegal aliens voting and vote harvesting it is probably still a list cause.
The country should be split up anyway. Let the liberal states die on the vine
The Constitution now says whatever the hell any 5 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices want it to say at any point in time.
The SCOTUS needs to knock down this nonsense ASAP. States don’t get to make changes to the Constitution of their own volition.
If Trump won the popular vote but lost Nevada and was just 8EV shy of the 270 needed to clinch, this would be poetic justice. In fact, I’d dearly wish that such a scenario happens.
How exactly do they plan to reach 270 by next year?
Which states get them to 270?
If they can get to 270 , then a Democrat will already win those sames states the Constitutional way.
JUst calm down.
This seems so obviously to disenfranchise a state’s voters. How can that be constitutional?
Does this mean a Federal Voter ID will be implemented since these Traitorous State Legislatures are colluding with each other?
I recall the Southern States agreed to collude back in the 1860’s.
That map looks like what the country in the Hunger Games might look like.
All the “small” states in the middle that have no vote must produce and provide for those in the other four states.
President Snow from The Hunger games approves.
The compact would take effect after states totaling 270 electoral votes, and with Nevada, the total would reach 195.
from the other topic I saw.
If this compact passes, expect them to do a neck-breaking about face in repealing their law if Trump wins the popular vote.
these idiots will be the first to scream for a lawsuit if Trump wins the popular vote. Trump may end up with 500 electoral votes if he does win the popular vote. And these are all Democrat states shooting themselves in the foot so actually not one thing has changed.
As the article alludes, if this passes Constitutional muster there will be a big rise in 3rd (and 4th and 5th and 6th) parties. Individual candidates and parties will campaign heavily in just a small number of states, such that no single person will ever win the popular vote by more than 50%. Imagine how the country will react when a person who got 35% of the vote is ‘anointed’ by these states.

This magnifies the reason why if we do not get elections purified to have required picture ID plus voting on one day with no absentee ballots except for military and no early or late voting and no mail in ballots and requirements that voters must show up at the polls in person and be verified by positive ID, the Republicans have won their last national election. As it is the largest SocialDemocrat controlled city in each state will determine the total vote for the state, which in Republican states will be a significantly higher vote total than eligible voters in the state. The concept was dry run in 2016 and 18 in a few states and received no actual blowback i.e. they got away with it clean. It will be done with wild abandon in 2020 and the Republicans can be counted on to simply accept their total extinction in national politics.
Domocrars coming up with a new way to cheat on National Elections.
This won’t hold up in the courts.
