I don’t believe this is at all Constitutional.

Since when has the Constitution mattered to so-called “progressives”?

Even the early ones opposed it.

As I recall it, any agreements between states require congressional approval. I also don’t think that awarding electors based on the voting in other states meets the guarantee of republican government to the states.

Article II, Section 1 of the US Constitution The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows:

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

More follows in the Article detailing specifics if you care to read it.

The way things are going, America will fall apart as the former Soviet Union did if we are lucky. The worst case is a civil war. America as founded is no more.

States can choose to award their electors in any fashion they see fit. The idiocy of this plan is to make their own state’s majority meaningless. The small state of Connecticut is going to have its electors subject to larger states voters.

Dumb.
