Trumps Electoral College Victory Ranks 46th in 58 Elections (NOT a "landslide")

[CousinIT]

FACT: Trump's EC "victory" is 46th of 58 in history AND he lost pop vote by 2.8 MILLION. NOT a "landslide".

FACT: Trump's popular vote margin is 47th of 49 in history. in 45 elections, the candidate won more EC votes than Trump. NOT a "landslide"

1. What if every single state adopted the Popular vote compact?

Let's assume that since abolishing the EC requires a Constitutional Amendment, that wouldn't happen, but eventually the Popular Vote Compact is adopted by all 50 states. ( Doubt every state would agree but lets say they did)

That would make every election unanimous giving all 538 EC votes to the winning candidate

2. It is unconstitutional.

Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution says that states can't enter into an agreement with any other state without consent from Congress. That consent has never been given. It is something the proponents of this compact like to ignore.
