Or am I missing something here?
If enough states join that add up to 270 electoral votes, then they have the majority.
(Assuming that Congress approves this compact and that the entire nonsense of a “national popular vote” doesn’t collapse of its own stupidity.)
And, I should add, if that is the case then the “red states” are screwed because the “national popular vote” means that when Chicago and Philly invent votes they don’t just spoil one state’s election, they ruin the entire country.
