If your numbers are accurate, then it should be a no brainer to put forth an amendment using Article V and abolish the Electoral College in a constitutional manner. In fact, it would likely occur if the idea had such overwhelming support. So I don’t for a minute buy the reported numbers. This movement is sour grapes of liberals for loosing in 2000.

Other commenters have made the point that the argument for the compact is moot anyhow, i.e. the compact is unconstitional under Article I, Section 10, paragraph 3. So I assume you’re trying to drum up support for the amendment route? If so, good luck there.
