I'm not a fan of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

14. That's the operating theory. But is that a full guaranty against unintended consequences?

Again, with the Republican habit of running spoiler candidates like Wormy Kennedy, Jill Stein, Cornel West, it's a lot easier for them to benefit if, instead of worrying about flipping several key states, they can just scattershot a bundle of spoilers around the country and dig into our bottom line total. If anything, the Popular Vote Compact that only we agree to, actually encourages them and their billionaire underwriters to take that approach.

I'd love for there to be a popular vote amendment to the Constitution, but jury-rigging a workaround is playing with fire. Note my other posts in this thread about what's at stake in the SCOTUS. Taking a pair of boxing gloves to a gunfight is just not smart and it's not fair to the national interest.
