The Electoral College Is the Greatest Threat to Our Democracy
Just another attack on states rights. Looks like they were right back in 1789 to be fearful of being swallowed up by the more populous states...
So far it just seems to be blue states so it seems to be an effort to prevent further collapses of “The Blue Wall”. I bet the first time a state switches its votes due to this agreement many voters will take it to court.
Thinking like a liberal:
Using presidential powers to declare a national emergency: unconstitutional.
Disenfranchising millions of voters with a scheme to circumvent the Electoral College: constitutional.
There’s also this scholarly treatment of the NPV in a PDF from the Cato Institute in 2008:
‘A Critique of the National Popular Vote Plan for Electing the President’

Mathematical proof of the merits of the Electoral College:

Brief summary - the World Series is decided by games won; not by runs scored.
The Electoral College “firewalls” vote fraud; no matter how many fraudulent ballots are generated in a given state, that state gets no more electoral votes.
Without that limitation, the democrat-controlled urban vote plantations will be cranking-out fraudulent ballots by the truckload, guaranteeing a popular-vote victory for the ‘rat candidate.
Ultimately, if you want to maximally empower an individual voter, to create the greatest probability that a single individual, by their one vote, can change the outcome of an election, the Electoral College is the way to go.
The cabal behind the NPV doesn’t want that; they want to industrialize election-rigging on a national scale.
Progressing back to the city-state.
There is a technical term for the National Popular Vote (NPV) proposal - A Cockamamie Scheme.
It will certainly destroy the basic fabric of our Republic. Of course, this is exactly what the Democrats intend to do. If this scheme was adopted and if it survives the Constitutional challenges, our Republic and the Constitution would become dead letters and the Democrats would have an unassailable advantage in the political equation. We would become what much of Europe has already reached.
The outcome is in doubt, but is most likely results include:
1. This effort will fall short of the required states to trigger the scheme.
2. If the scheme succeeds, Constitutional challenges will ensue and a series of injunctions will prevent it’s use during a Presidential election until the matter is resolved by the Supreme Court.
3. The Supreme Court will find that this compact is not Constitutional.
4. The Democrats will continue to contrive various illegal schemes to capture power that they currently cannot achieve through Constitutional means.
5. The Democrat efforts to obtain power through corruption and voter fraud are more likely to succeed than this scheme.
Until this “movement” gains a red state, it is actually detrimental to the DNC.
Since it is unlikely a red state will join this scam, it only provides an opportunity for Trump to sweep even more states in 2020 when he wins the popular vote over whichever lunatic the DNC puts on the ballot.
Electoral College worked until Hillary showed up
Well, this whole thing will last until a Republican wins the Popular Vote, and then you see a 400 EC vote win because all these fool states did this....
Could happen as early as 2020.
The electoral college prevents the totalitarian tyrants know this is their biggest obstacle to destroying the USA. The USA MUST BE DESTROYED to promote A 1 world order! People can not have free speech or choice to succeed. Remove choice and weapons and the elites can control a society of slaves for the elitist politicians.
What would they do if DJT wins the popular vote in 2020?
