The real problem with NPV is that article 1 leaves the assignment of electoral college votes to the states; but each state independently can agree to NPV, which opens the question of it violating the interstate compact clause, which will need to be decided by SCOTUS. If it’s not seen as a compact, the ability to stop it is questionable.

It would be very cool if enough states got on-board… and then the GOP won the popular vote. Dems would undo it so fast your head would spin.

But if they put it in place and the result was the opposite of how the EC had worked since the 18thC, I’d expect serious resistance from Americans to the conmies(D), up to and including secession.

Democrats are like termites. They are constantly chewing and gnawing away at our Constitutional protections in their never ending lust for power.
