"Suppose a state like Colorado votes for R, but the national popular vote goes for D. Then the Colorado Electors will vote D, completely ignoring the state vote tally and thus disenfranchising all Colorado voters"

This is unconstitutional as it violates Article Four, Section Four...The federal government shall GUARANTEE to the states a republican form of government.

a republican form of government is one where we elect representatives to represent OUR interest. Awarding OUR INTEREST to a national cause which potentially negates OUR INTEREST denies us our republican form of representation GUARANTEED to us in the Constitution. This effort isn't going anywhere as it cannot happen legally according to the Constitution except by the amendment process.

Good point. It’ll make for an interesting SCOTUS case. But to get there, you need an aggrieved party with standing which means an election would have occurred where this caused an untoward outcome.

I’m not sure how you can head this off before that.
