I don't know how the National Popular Vote Compact could ever pass constitutional muster. Of course, liberals don't care about the constitution which was written by old, white slaveholders.

Good point. This is, at the root, an inter-state compact.

That’s a very good point. But there is an easy way around it. All a state has to do is drop the word “compact”.

Right now Maine is saying: As soon as the Compact goes into effect, all of our electoral votes will go to the national popular vote winner.

Instead, just say: Starting with the next election, all of our electoral votes will go to the national popular vote winner.

I wonder why they’re not saying that now. Perhaps they are not as serious about the idea as they want you to believe.

Well said, at a min approved by Congress.
