“The effort to undermine the electoral college has been churning away, quietly, behind the scenes, for some time.”

Yes, a senseless distraction, or dangerous attack on the rights of less populated states depending on how you look at it, that the liberals like quite a bit. But, the list said “an amendment” and an amendment probably can’t be anything more than an applause line for speeches. The reason they are doing these crazy compact is because they know if would be incredibly unlikely for anyone to have the political capital to make an amendment about this and then actually spend that capital on doing it.
