The Electoral College has become the opposite of what Founders envisioned

11. Interesting, but you didn't read carefully...

Very interesting concept - I didn't know this existed - I like it! However, if you had studied it more closely you would have noticed that the 165 electoral votes (61.1% of the 270 EV needed) have something in common. They are all very blue states and DC:

Maryland 10,
New Jersey 14
Illinois 20
Hawaii 4,
Washington 12
Massachusetts 11
District of Columbia 3
Vermont 3
California 55,
Rhode Island 4,
New York 29,

There are no traditionally red states involved and not one swing state has joined the compact. Can you hazard a guess why that is? Without some of those states involved, there is no way the compact will ever reach 270 electoral votes needed to become effective. And notice how the popularity of the agreement dropped from 70% to 49% after Trump lost the popular vote by a large margin.

State legislatures in Republican and swing states are not stupid. It's clear that if a candidate in the future wins the popular vote, but loses the Electoral College, it is going to be the Democratic nominee, not the Republican. And swing states are not going to give up their place in the sun during the general election process. You really don't expect these folks to adopt something that is not in their selfish best interests just because it would be fair, do you?

The chances of this agreement going into in affect in the foreseeable future are slim and none, with emphasis on the none. It is currently more than halfway to nowhere.
