Assuming they ever get an electoral majority on board and the Trump/Dubbya SCOTUS lets it stand (Jill Stein/Ralph Nader 2028!) I wonder how wise it would be to put national elections into the hands of Red Staters who have no compunctions on committing voter fraud.

Texas joins the Compact and claims they have 200 million votes for Trump. What are you going to do about it?

Time to scrap the antiquated electoral college. Land should not have more electoral power than humans.

Once again, what do you do if Texas then finds 200 million votes for Trump next election?
