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.

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.

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?

"John Koza, the chairman of the National Popular Vote, a group that advocates for the compact, said the Electoral College “distorts” public policy by incentivizing presidents to cater to key swing states while in office, particularly in their first term."

idiots...same would happen with popular vote

So, the smaller blue states want to dance to any tune called for by California and New York?

The worst part is that you will have states like CA and NY with illegals openly voting + all kinds of other voter fraud.

Also, suppose the national popular vote were within the “margin of error” (less than 0.50%). Imagine the spectacle of a recount on a NATIONAL level??

Only reason that democrats do well in the popular vote nationwide, is because republicans haven’t bothered to campaign in NY or California or Illinois or Massachussetts or other heavily liberal states.

If campaigning were to be required by regulations in every state, there is no doubt that democrats would end up losing there too, and they would rue the day they asked for the popular vote total to determine the presidency.

Leftards hate America. Hate our Republic. Love communism, which is direct democracy. They know most voters on the coastal states are morons and vote with their emotions and how they are told to vote.
This is also a huge waste of time. They need a Contsitutional amendment to change the constitution. That ain’t gonna happen for this reason.
