Doesn’t a change to the electoral college require a constitutional amendment?

Isn’t it the blue states that don’t believe in the US Constitution and look for ways to circumvent it all the time?

What next? Secession? Before that happens I suggest we deport all leftists to any communist or Islamic country that will take them. Canada and Mexico are basically communist now so they may not even have to move all that far.

It’ll be interesting if Trump wins the popular vote and they have to give their states votes to him!

The author barely acknowledges the arguments against the plan.

Does anyone really think that the Democrats would abide by the compact, if they ever got above the target of states with 270 or more electoral votes, if it would deprive them of a victory in the Presidential election? Either blue state electors would refuse to vote for the Republican candidate, or the states would quickly rescind their participation in the compact in the interval between election day and when the electoral college votes.

lol I have been saying this, ut like all the leftists that gave money to stormy’s “legal” fund which ended up paying President Trumps lawyers, what a hoot if NY, Kali, Ill, EC votes go to Trump in 2020. The way I see it, no one who voted for Trump will not again, and plenty who didn’t will this time after seeing the demonrat leftist party completely exposed

They're Democrats, they will simply repeal the law if Trump wins the popular vote. If you accept the fact that they can make up this silly rule, you have to accept the fact that they can change this silly rule. They will never ever ever overrule their voters and give Trump the electoral votes.

Seems they are violating the rights of their voters, the US Constitution against forming alliances, and a whole host of other illegal activities.

Even if it does take effect will it really matter if all the red states continue to vote by electors?
