Not in this particular case. The Constitution gives the states great latitude in how they assign their electoral votes.

So if a state wants to give all its electoral votes to the national popular vote winner, that would probably pass muster with the Supreme Court.

And the argument that this would disenfranchise the state’s voters...that argument is weak. Because the votes would still count towards the national total.

But a smaller state would be stupid to agree to this. Any national vote scheme would shift the power to the big states, New York and California especially.

"...And the argument that this would disenfranchise the state’s voters...that argument is weak..."

It is weak in that the description of what it is like to be caught inside a house on fire is weak unless you happen to be the one caught inside the house on fire.

The left is willing to sacrifice States for power. Another blow against Federalism.
