I predict SCOTUS intervention.

Since it’s completely constitutional there’s nothing to intervene on. Of course that might not stop SCOTUS, they get pretty random sometimes, but they shouldn’t.

No! Congress can weigh in. If legislatures want to set up an interstate compact, Congress has plenary powers to regulate interstate compacts.

Nah, the states have the right to determine how their electors are apportioned.

The proponents haven’t really thought out the practical aspects, though. These measures will only pass in Democrat dominated state legislatures, which are primarily in the same states that the Democrats won anyway, so it’ll only come into play when the Republicans win the popular vote. And it’ll turn elections into unanimous Republican victories. I’m not sure that’s what they had in mind.....
