That probably requires congrsssional approval. And even then, that last until the supreme court strikes it down. Or even if it doesn’t gwt struck down, its unclear if the next congress have the ability to revoke the previous session of congress’s approval of the interstate compact.
So many shenanigans.

What would happens is Dem states will do proportional allocation, republican states would stick with winner take all, and you end up with a permanent republican presidency.
States run elections, states also get to decide how to allocate their electors.
Anything short of a constitutional amendment will not work.


Its easier to hack millions of electronic votes than to intercept, open, tamper with ballot, then reseal the envelope. And you’d need a lot of tampering to even swing an election. Electronic hack is just a push of a button. Too easy to manipulate.
Also, how do you create the equivalent of a “ballot secrecy envelope” for the electronic based remote voting?


Okay so, in simple terms, explain how you intend to do electronic remote voting, while preventing a link between voters and who they voted for, and also preserving security?


Unless you want all votes to become public, physical ballots is still the most secure way to do elections.

Honestly, I understand why my parents aren’t even panicking, the country we lived in before coming to the US, also had random arbitary policy changes, so… this just feels normal to them, authoritarianism is normal to them.

PoV, you live in a Wattpad story.


FPTP means de facto 2 party system.
The democraric party is really just an uneasy coalition between many different parties in a big trench coat labeled “Democratic Party”, pragmatic leftists are usually in the Democraric party, but not all Democrats are on the “left”.
