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.
‘If they get enough states to account for 270 Electoral Votes, then the Electoral College system is kaput.’
it’s highly unlikely that the 270 votes will be comprised of all blue states, at least for the near future; actually, if the 270 is reached then it would behoove all the states to join the compact, and be incentivized to turn out as many voters as it can, and attempt to win the popular vote
if the 270 votes are comprised of reliably blue states, yeah, then the EC is moot...but without the participation of TX or FL, hard to see that coming about...
This is unconstitutional as it violates Article Four, Section Four...The federal government shall GUARANTEE to the states a republican form of government.
a republican form of government is one where we elect representatives to represent OUR interest. Awarding OUR INTEREST to a national cause which potentially negates OUR INTEREST denies us our republican form of representation GUARANTEED to us in the Constitution. This effort isn't going anywhere as it cannot happen legally according to the Constitution except by the amendment process.
