Which is why the red states will never go for this. And you only need 15 of them to say no. So it's a non starter.
For a Convention of the States dedicated to Georgia’s application language, which would re-balance citizens’ rights and state powers versus federal power, the count is 19 down, 15 to go.
For a Convention of the States dedicated to a balanced budget amendment only, the count is 30 down, 4 to go.
“Red states will never go for it.”
