Article IV, section 4. “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.” Contrary to what some posters have suggested, states cannot pick electors in any way they want. They cannot choose electors on the basis of race, for example. By allowing the voters of every state to choose their electors the electors are no longer representing the citizens of their state, rather the citizens of all the states.

Article I, section 10. “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress... enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State.” Shouldn’t have to explain that one.

Article IV is a reach. A long one.

Article I could stop this. But it won't.

Kudos to you for actually providing some text though.

Better than a few of the trolls here.

That's interesting. I would like to understand better the legal interpretation of this. What does that include/exclude? For example, reciprocity of honoring CC permits. That's not an agreement between states? I agree with all that electoral voting by national popular vote disenfranchises voters of the state, but not sure how this Article 1, section 10 is applied as compared to so many other states agreements.
