I was working on this the past couple of days - it might explain a bit:

As far back as mid-April three groups of states announced that they will collaborate as they consider cautiously restarting their economies: California, Oregon and Washington; a coalition of up to seven mostly Northeastern states; and a Midwestern alliance. But they could go an important step further by establishing “interstate compacts,” a legally binding form of coordination. That means talks to do so must have been going on for some little time, eh? They are not hiding this Compact planning, by the way.
The states will combine and coordinate with each other, in a political power meld, to decide how to control the reopening of those states bound together in these compacts. This is to be presented as being necessary because: “ There are aspects of this crisis to which states simply can’t respond individually”.
As the federal gov. doesn’t hold ultimate authority over public health matters at local levels, these states are taking advantage of the present pandemic lockdown and autocratically feeling out ways to ensure they have congruent lockdown rules to “prevent the coronavirus from spreading across borders”. This should set alarm bells ringing. It likely will require laws being passed in their legislatures, and compacts would allow for even more aggressive and legally enforceable action than we are seeing at present. Again, this should set alarm bells ringing. Because who believes that all these Compacts (essentially countries within the USA) just vanish when the virus dies back? While you could point out that in our Constitution it is clearly addressed thusly, “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress … enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State.” the proposed compacts of states will try to shush you by pointing to the more than 200 interstate compacts, addressing such issues as territorial ambiguities, higher education, natural resources, and transportation. Different order of magnitude, I would argue.
Several proposed plans to restart the economy depend on monitoring the movements and contacts of infected people, and whomever they have been in recent contact with. The Compacts hold forth that, “It would make little sense to stop such contact tracing at state borders”. But at present, such efforts are likely to be impeded by the tangle of widely varying state privacy laws regarding medical records. A compact might slice through this thicket, and suspend your expectations to privacy re your medical records, and records of the list of folks that you come into contact with on a regular basis right along with your own! But that might be the smallest of the worries if this plan moves forward.
Governor Gavin Newsom (D) on multiple occasions, beginning in early 2019, has referred to California as a Nation-State. What could be behind all of this? With the world’s fifth-largest economy, California can seem like its own country, but it. is. not. These moves to form Compacts are not just power moves, but moves to usurp rights from the citizens that reside in these (soon to be formerly) individual states and also power from the Federal Government. I wouldn’t care as much if we could peel NYC off, let it run along and join the Compact while leaving NYS to own our devices, but it wouldn’t work like that.
And in the middle of all of this - the call to institute mail in ballots for the upcoming Presidential elections! Because it’s simply too dangerous, they tell us, to risk your safety by allowing you to use a voting machine.

But going to a packed Walmart for an hour and a half is no problem.

I think that the few prog states that force 100% fraud-by mail will have such blatant and obvious outcomes that there will not be a way to deny the obvious cheating

Arbitrarily sending out fraud-by-mail ballots to 100% of the registered voters will produce staggeringly skewed results as progs can not control themselves.

They will commit massive fraud even in areas where there is absolutely no need too.
