As I recall it, any agreements between states require congressional approval. I also don’t think that awarding electors based on the voting in other states meets the guarantee of republican government to the states.

Like waves endlessly hitting the shore, LIB lunatics come up with more bizarre lunacy each day. No wonder LIBTARDS closed mental institutions. They knew where they were headed. Malignancies all...

‘I also don’t think that awarding electors based on the voting in other states meets the guarantee of republican government to the states.’

as has been stated before, the states are granted the right to choose the electors for the presidency as each state sees fit...this doesn’t circumvent that...

Also what about Amendment XIV?

But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

I would think subjecting the presidential vote to a national override would be abridging the citizens' right to vote.
