Oh gosh does it ever stop?Whats next throwing out a banana peel to make people slip? These commies never stop. I don’t if they got enough states to sign on for that but i think it is the mail in ballots they are going for this year.

The last I heard, almost all of the states that signed up for this are deep blue to begin with.
California, Massachusetts, New York, Washington, Oregon, New Jersey, Illinois, etc.

27 States are trying to get it. 9 already have.
If Trump wins the popular vote, watch these liberals try to sue to overturn the law they passed.

Nope.
In the United States, an interstate compact is a pact or agreement between two or more states, or between states and any foreign government. The Compact Clause (Article I, Section 10, Clause 3) of the United States Constitution provides that "No State shall, without the Consent of Congress,... enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power,..."[1]
Congress is not about to set a precedent that they are willing to give up power and authority in the election process.

Not this cycle, but it bears a close watch. There are 4 Justices on the Supreme Court who will go along with anything and they just one other to err.

To be blunt, if Biden wins along with the House and Senate, that won't matter. They will have made 30 million illegals citizens by 2024, making it impossible for Republicans to ever win again. In addition, by controlling the election voting process, they will most probably mandate 100% unsolicited mail-in balloting at the Congressional and Presidential level, which by necessity will force states to do it for all races (state, local) or have two separate elections, not going to happen except in solid red states. And don't let the Supreme Court give you any hope. Keep in mind that John Roberts is officially on the Liberal side from now on out for issues of this nature.
The problem with the National Popular Vote Compact is irrelevant. If enough states "ratified" the NPVC, they would already be sufficiently blue enough that it wouldn't matter if the Compact were ratified or not; they would most probably get at least 300 electoral votes in non-competitive states, well over the current threshold of 270, without need of the Popular Vote threshold. But if the country were at a point where NPVC was passed with states totaling 270 votes, we are well past the breaking point, and well on the way to a Soviet dystopia anyway, if not already there.
FWIW, I wrote a piece on RedState about the NPVC back in 2016:
The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is Corrupted
To: Ben Dover
It’s mostly Hilary states that are in it.
Trump could be getting a 50 state sweep if he gets the popular vote, which I think he will.

I think this was just addressed in the last two weeks.
It’s a non-starter.
It will NOT pass muster.

Nope because the constitution still determines how the election is determined. Those pacts all have caveats that day it won’t go into effect unless 37 states agree

Yes.
When it gets to the Supreme Court, Roberts will rule in the democrats favor.

The “compact” will disappear the moment a Republican Presidential Candidate wins the Popular Vote.

“Is there a need to worry about this National Popular Vote Interstate Compact pulling the rug out from a President Trump win this cycle? “
no. the compact doesn’t go into effect unless enough states join to represent at least 270 electoral votes, and it’s probably unconstitutional anyway ...

"Is there a need to worry about this National Popular Vote Interstate Compact pulling the rug out from a President Trump win this cycle?" It's not in effect. Not enough states have agreed to it.
