The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has no red states' support. You're aware that a whole bunch of Republican legislatures would have to vote for a constitutional amendment, unless we want to risk a Constitutional Convention, right?

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact needs no red state support. Thats the genius of it.
Yes, I realize a bunch of red states would have to vote for it. Thats how serious I think "bribing an elector to throw the election to the loser" would be treated.
The people who made the NPVIC made a serious error in naming it. Logically I can see no way that anyone could credibly argue that it violates the constitution, because the actual implementation isn't an agreement between states but instead an a trigger condition for a way of a state awarding its electoral votes.
However, they decided to give it the inaccurate name "Interstate Compact" тАФ and the constitution specifically says those are only valid if approved by congress.
Probably too far in the weeds but if the compact could get to around 250 EVs is it safe from judicial attack until it hits 270? If so keep it just short until the court is less stacked.

Sure, by the same party that stole the 2000 election and supported Trump's collaboration with Russia and attempts to steal the 2020 election...
It is a great idea that the Supreme Court would overturn less than 30 seconds after the final state passes it.
You mean the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, not a constitutional amendment?

This gives an easy out for the republican SCOTUS to void the whole thing if it lets them steal an election.
Wow! I did not know that! That error should be fixed.
