Bills receiving floor votes in previous sessions (Fails only)
The table below lists past bills that received a floor vote (a vote by the full chamber) in at least one chamber of the state's legislature. Bills that failed without a floor vote are not listed. The "EVs" column indicates the number of electoral votes the state had at the time of the latest vote on the bill. This number may have changed since then due to reapportionment after the 2010 Census.

Prospects
Psephologist Nate Silver noted in 2014 that all jurisdictions that had adopted the compact at that time were blue states, and that there were not enough electoral votes from the remaining blue states to achieve the required majority. He concluded that, as swing states were unlikely to support a compact that reduces their influence, the compact could not succeed without adoption by some red states as well.

A vote reversed is a vote denied no matter how many times you say otherwise

Good info, but the stuff you copy and pasted, didn't really address what I said.

So let's say Mississippi joins and Trump wins by 30 points against (let's say) Warren

The court might also decide it has no authority to tell states how to apportion their electors

Thanks, we can use a little luck with all the corruption in our voting process.

I checked into that a while back. It, surprisingly, would have made no difference in 2016.

It's a remnant of slavery and obviously shouldn't exist, but good luck getting rid of it.
