Lovely, Trump will get Nevada, ME and CO’s EC votes regardless of how the citizens of those states actually vote in 2020... AWESOME.
No he wont.

These 3 states would not have made any difference in 2016. But, these 3 states went for Hillary in 2016. Which means, had what they just voted on been in effect in 2016, they would have effectively ceded their votes to California and New York even if Trump had won in say, Nevada.
“Lovely, Trump will get Nevada, ME and CO’s EC votes regardless of how the citizens of those states actually vote in 2020... AWESOME.”
I expect that the Democrat structure in those states signed on to this compact will renege on their pledge as soon as they realize Trump wins the popular vote in 2020. And if by some miracle Trump wins the traditional electoral college but not the popular vote then Trump will have standing to immediately appeal to the Supreme Court which will slap down this nonsense. It’s clearly unconstitutional.
Maybe good for 2020, maybe not so much down the road.
If the electoral system is destroyed then the reason
for less populous states to support the Constitution
goes away. It was that caveat which made the
Constitution palpable to the small states. Take it
away and those states could rightfully secede in
my book.
I can’t help wondering if:
THE VOTERS OF THESE MISGUIDED STATES ARE AWARE OF WHAT THEIR LEADERS ARE DOING.
Their votes will all be added to Los Angeles and New York City, regardless of how they vote.
Strange, considering how much value they place on their precious votes.
Trump received one electoral vote from Maine’s Second Congressional District in 2016. He won the district by 10 points, and Maine, like Nebraska, apportions it’s electoral votes.
The president has a very good chance of winning the entire state in 2020.
