All it takes is 4 democrat controlled legislatures to join. The Constitution forbids interstate compacts without Congressional approval which they will get.
Is it just congressional approval, or is it subject to a veto?
Do you have a link?

This isn’t happening yet. The NPVIC is blatantly unconstitutional. This SCOTUS is weak but they will strike it down immediately.
No they won’t. They will say that no one has standing to challenge it until it actually disendranchises voters in those states. Once tgat happens SCOTUS will chicken out on ruling against it.

The way states award their EVs is determined by the legislature.
And each state holds its own election. You win the election in that state (the popular vote) you win the EV’s. Installing a competing system through state legislators is unconstitutional.

That’s one of the few moves that could spark legitimate secession. I don’t see it happening.

Republicans should support an amendment to end the EC. Now that Texas is Blue, they will never win the presidency. Going to popular vote might be the only chance they have.

No they can’t just change the electoral law. It would need overwhelming majorities and ratification by 3/4 of the states. That ain’t happening

. But the voters who voted for republicans in 2024 and either voted blue or stayed home deserve the most blame.
The polling shows that is mostly independents and crossover Ds that were tired of Biden being sleepy on the job, his shite economy, and the far left wokeism.
True Republicans actually showed up to the polls for the most part and voted straight R ticket. They were just snowed under by the independents and moderate Ds disillusioned with their choice in 2024. And the Republican Congress as a whole didn't really give them a reason to stay, while Trump did just about the opposite of what would entice them to become true R voters for life

The compact and the electoral college are at odds with each other. They can’t coexist.
They most certainly can. A state can choose to award its electoral votes any number of ways.

Just wait until democrats win in 2028 and it goes up 200%-300% what it is today.
What are these idiot gop voters going to say then?

Are you mentally challenged? The EC is enshrined in the constitution. It is the legal framework for presidential elections. You can’t just invent a new electoral process that runs counter to it.. You do know we are a nation of 50 individual sovereign states right? If you want to change the way the president is elected, there is a process for it and ALL 50 states get to have a say, not simply a collection of blue states.

No the frick they can’t. You are trying to use an interstate compact to create a quasi election of a President via popular vote. If a candidate wins Colorado he wins Colorado, period. His victory in the state of Colorado cannot hinge on the votes of other states.

This will die the first time a state actually puts their EV’s opposite their popular vote, it would be political suicide for the in-state congress.

Congrats to the RINOs, principled conservatives, and everyone else who voted for a democrat or stayed home. You f***ed us forever because muh high prices made us cut our week long summer trip to just 5 days.
Anyone blaming the electorate instead of Trump is both an idiot and a pussy. Go change your tampon.

There is nothing to that effect in the Constitution. There is no popular vote of Colorado sanctified there. The Constitution just says that the state legislature is to decide the award of the electoral votes. The states, separate from the constitution, have mostly decided to award them based on the states’ popular vote. But that can be changed at the whim of the legislature.
There is an issue of the states conspiring together, but that can be got around through an act of congress, and the constitution does not forbid that.

So this won’t happen, this would have to be a constitutional amendment, it would require 2/3rds majority in both houses then 38 states to ratify it,,,,it’s a dead issue

I've never been a die hard Trump guy but I'm not dumb either. How could any rational person, who is not acting on emotion and anger think the way forward is by placing the DSA party into power. I've said for years it will be mental fragility along with untreated mental illness that brings this nation down.
