Exactly. Also, it’s pointless if no red states or important swing states sign on.
“Also, it’s pointless if no red states or important swing states sign on.”
Unfortunately that isn’t necessarily the case, especially in the long term. As soon as the electoral vote total of the states agreeing to this reaches 270 the intent of the constitution will have been subverted and America’s chief executive will be elected by popular vote. It’s worth noting that this is happening concurrently with the push for amnesty, which could add millions of immigrant (ie. Democrat) voters to the roles of blue states.
While it’s interesting to speculate on what might happen if a Republican were to win the popular vote and not the Electoral College there really is no chance of that ever happening, especially given the changing demographics of America’s population.
