Maine votes out electoral college

It doesn't matter which articles you cite since none of them prohibit states from distributing electoral votes in the manner they choose as long as it is consistent with the Constitution.

I am aware of arguments about congressional approval of a pact but most court cases and scholars do not believe it is an issue. Also, Supreme Court rulings give states "wide discretion in selecting the method by which they appoint their electors" (McPherson v. Blacker (1892) and Arizona State Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (2015))

Also, Congress still has many years to approve such a pact in the event enough states join.

The Constitution doesn’t need to say they can’t do it for it to be unconstitutional

You fucking Trans Rightys are as dumb as demalquedacrats

Also you just proved my point that all you would say is “nuh uh”

It has nothing to do with what they can't do, it is about what the Constitution gives the states the power to do without interference from the federal government.

You trans lefties pretend you favor states' rights and less federal power until a state does something you don't like and then you want to invent some reason for prohibiting it.

lets try a thought experiment which I know is hard for you Trans Righty's

Can you name any time in our history that a State has applied its electoral votes based on another state?

Just one

No, I don't think they have never tried to do so. And this pact does not award them based on another state but on the national vote total. Because they have never done something before does not mean they cannot do it as long as it is within their constitutional power to do so.

It does not abridge anybody's right to vote as some people have claimed about the 14th Amendment.

Want to try that again?

I do think that there is a 14th Amendment argument to make in that it invalidates a persons vote. But, there are still other Constitutional problems you haven't touched on. When you meet my terms, I will explain

The 14th says a person (over 21) cannot be denied the right to vote. How that vote is applied is a matter for each state. And, the 14th only applies to votes for a presidential elector.

A state could (although not politically feasible) have their electoral vote go automatically to the popular vote winner nationally and eliminate the state popular vote.

An elector who does not vote for the candidate to whom he is pledged does not invalidate a person's vote.
