What next if states try to adopt this?
“What next if states try to adopt this?”
Dissolving the Republic...
They are already and it better be nipped in the bud pronto.
I would think a SCOTUS vhallenge could not fail ss long as the EC remains in the Constitution. The states elect the POTUS: that is accepted by these advocates. Well if the state runs an election for presidential electirs and candidste X wins but the electors for losing candidate Y are chosen to vote then the majority of state voters have had their vote erased. Thus a state has ignored the voters in favor of voters in other states. This flies in the face of one man one vote as the votes of many are ignored. I cannot see less than a 7-2 with only RBG and Sotomayer dissenting.

It amounts to secession. IMO.
