If you take away the Electoral College, you take away the containment of voter fraud. No matter how many illegals vote in California, the Democrat only gets 55 Electoral Votes. If you take that boundary limit away, then the fraud itself in California can overwhelm the entire legitimate votes in some small states, throwing the popular vote the Democrat's way. Then, the other states in the compact give their Electoral Votes to the Democrat, regardless of the popular vote in their own state.

Exactly. For my vote to count now, I only have to ensure there is no massive vote fraud in my own state. But if this compact goes through, dead people in Chicago will be cancelling out my vote. Who needs that?

Besides, I still say that the State Legislatures of Massachusetts, New York and California are going to abrogate this agreement the first time they are forced to cast a vote for a Republican. Such a move would be wildly popular with their constituents. They can see on which side their bread is buttered.

That is a very good point. Fraud becomes more of an issue.

I also think though that no other state would be dumb enough to follow california, and this dumb Democrat idea
will get pulled real fast once they see Cali go for a Republican.
