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

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

since the compact takes effect upon an aggregation of 270 electoral votes, the red state electors have no effect whatsoever...

Some states are winner take all Electors. Others split the Electors according to the popular vote in that state.

Suppose a state like Colorado votes for R, but the national popular vote goes for D. Then the Colorado Electors will vote D, completely ignoring the state vote tally and thus disenfranchising all Colorado voters.

If they get enough states to account for 270 Electoral Votes, then the Electoral College system is kaput.

That’s the day that CW II turns hot.
