Any state that allows the rest of the nation to choose its electors will forfeit it's representation in Congress (and thus forfeit all but two of its electors), per the Constitution.

Amdendment XIV, Sec 2

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state.

the loophole they have found is the will still award electoral votes but instead of giving the electoral votes to whoever won the majority of votes in the state they will give all the electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote

Hoo, you assume the Supreme Court gives a cr@p, I fear they don’t.

Their delay in chopping off the tens of Billions in the health plan shows me they are complicit.
