we probably won't gt that interstate pact for the same reasons we won't get a Constitutional Amendment. The states with all R legislatures/governor won't let it happen.

If we want to get rid of the EC we will have to concentrate on taking back some of the state governments, which will mean appealing (again) to some of the people we lost in this election.

I haven't looked into it, but I would guess that most, if not all, of the states that have signed onto The Popular Vote Compact are red states.
