> IIRC this “consortium” is unconstitutional unless it gets Congressional approval.

I disagree. Congressional approval is irrelevant. The Constitution gives *sole* control of the state electors to the State’s Legislatures. Thus, they would have to approve the compact.

I don't know if you're a lawyer but I *certainly* am not.I base my previous comment on what I read once,which said that certain types agreements between states are specifically forbidden by the Constitution unless "approved" by Congress.What I read indicated that this agreement absolutely qualifies as being forbidden.

Of course I could have misunderstood what I read.It's just as possible that what I read was incorrect.

Assuming that *neither* of us are lawyers I wonder if one should be weighing in on this particular issue.
