Also a win for those pushing the popular vote compact. An elector can now be compelled, under pain of penalty, to vote for someone who doesn't win their state.
A state legislature can now basically compel electors to vote for whoever the legislature wants.

The decision was unanimous from the high court and a blow to a Democratic-aligned movement to chip away at the Electoral College.

I always like to see unanimous rulings even if it’s against something I would want. Gives me a glimmer of hope that the Supreme Court isn’t fully partisan.

HUGE
Even more important that it was unanimous. Comforting.
This should put to bed those concerns of rogue state agents sending electors for a different candidate.

This is the operative word here, and really changes nothing because it simply allows the states to do as they please.
The Popular Vote Compact effort will trudge along until they attempt to use it to impact the results of an election before SCOTUS has the opportunity to put it to rest completely.
