This can only serve to hurt the blue states. It could end up costing them an election.

Exactly. Also, it’s pointless if no red states or important swing states sign on.

Serve’em right to wake up on Wednesday morning and realize their vaunted compact left them holding their own puds....

That would be sweet.

“This can only serve to hurt the blue states. It could end up costing them an election.”

My prediction is this: If it appears that it will cost them an election, they will renege on the compact.

In 2000, I believe that G.W. Bush would have won handily if they had followed this rule. I think Nixon would have won over Kennedy, Obama might even have lost in 2012.

I bet there is some fine print, such as, “The compact only goes into effect once all states sign on” or some such.
