New York joins the District of Columbia and nine states in signing on to the compact -- including California, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.

Fortunately, these are all in long-conquered territory, so it'll be a wash. When "red" states start going this way is when it's time to be concerned.

Exactly right. However, several more states have current bills in their legislatures.

CT (7 EV) and MN (10) are likely the next to join, giving them a total of 182 (of 270)...
PA (20), AZ (11), and MI (16) would hurt (and hit 229 total)...
but OK (7) and NE (5) would finish off the Electoral College for good, even with just 12 EV's and a total of 241 of 270, because once right-leaning states join, it's over.

(And FL conveniently gives them their last 29 to hit 270 exactly, assuming every state listed above joins the Compact)

It’s already time to start worrying.

The blue states enacting this into law will make the red states far more vulnerable far more quickly.

You see, once these laws are passed, the leftists don’t need to worry about those states in the national elections any longer. They will be wrapped up and however the major cities go, that’s how the state goes. And that is hardcore leftist.

The leftists will then have that much more time and MONEY to concentrate on the purple and red states.

As David Horowitz says, the left is engaged in the art of political war. The rest of the country is watching TV and figuring out how to be kinder, gentler, more social.

maybe we won’t need to even vote at all if the colors on that map line up right. Just do a census and elect the victors.
