‘If they get enough states to account for 270 Electoral Votes, then the Electoral College system is kaput.’
it’s highly unlikely that the 270 votes will be comprised of all blue states, at least for the near future; actually, if the 270 is reached then it would behoove all the states to join the compact, and be incentivized to turn out as many voters as it can, and attempt to win the popular vote
if the 270 votes are comprised of reliably blue states, yeah, then the EC is moot...but without the participation of TX or FL, hard to see that coming about...
Good point. If a disproportionate number of blue states approve it in their legislatures and approach the 270 magic number, then will the Red states be forced to quickly approve their own legislation?
