      This can’t, its a state innitiatve. there’s no filibuster, only governors who have state legislative trifectas to vote for it.

      Its possible itll get thrown out in the supreme court tho…

        There’s a line that Interstate compacts are constitutional if “consented” to by Congress. So it’d be like state govs form compact and send a letter to Congress, who acknowledges receipt. I’m sure it’d get challenged but I think the constitution is pretty clear that states select electors who can do whatever they want.

        Of course if a state gov changes hands down the line, they can withdraw, but that doesn’t screw anyone over, states will just go back to our current apportionment scheme
