If Election Day is on November 6th (for example) and the Electoral College doesn't meet until mid-December, then any state that joins this "compact" has more than a month for their legislature to pass a statute that withdraws the state from the agreement.
Since none of this is binding under Federal law, no state has the power to enforce such an agreement with any other state.
In other words, it's all just theatrics ... carried out by state legislators who are so useless they have to make up sh!t like this to fill their days.
Yup.
If a Republican happened to win the popular vote and let’s say Blue States had to give the EV to the popular winner under the compact, they could withdraw from it before the Electoral College met.
Its political theatrics and meaningless. Democrats have no intention of ever legitimating a Republican victor. Any one who thinks they’re trying to protect democracy are living in a dream world.
This “compact” is valid for Democrats only. That’s why they can pass it in the knowledge they can undo it if it ever led to the opposite result.
That’s why its a liberal political con job.
