Electoral college benefits Democrats since they have a large non-citizen population in their states (CA, NY).

Eh, it probably benefits Republicans more. Electoral college is representatives proportioned to population plus two senators regardless of population. GOP usually wins more states even when they lose, so they gain from the +2 on every state even small ones.

Obama 2012 only got 51.1% of the vote but 61.7% of the EVs. It's not stable, meaning it depends on the margins of victory in states.

the EC margin of victory will almost always be much bigger than the popular vote margin just because of the winner-take-all system

the GOP benefits mainly from the advantage small states have in the EC, not from the winner-take-all system. george W bush would have lost the EC in 2000 if every state had two fewer electors

house apportionment counts non-citizens. so winning states with heavy non-citizen populations gives you an EC bonus. Trump kinda exploited against this by losing CA/NY so badly that the damage was mitigated. (Obviously winning 50.01% -49.99% maximizes the advantage and going to 100% - 0% minimizes it)

Trump managed to get lucky and win 4/4 swing states by 1.2% or less to maximize the winner-take-all by state nature of the EC, but that's just a one-off lucky break and not a structural advantage.

" Yale Law School professor Akhil Amar, one of the compact's framers, has argued that because the NPVIC does not create a "new interstate governmental apparatus" and because "cooperating states acting together would be exercising no more power than they are entitled to wield individually", the NPVIC probably does not constitute an interstate compact."

It's literally a bunch of states changing their own laws regarding internal state matters.

Are you arguing that California could give its electoral votes to the popular vote winner unilaterally, but when it agrees to do it once other states do it it's unconstitutional?

Here's an interesting question. Could a state that is traditionally a purpleish state, at a point where one party held the legislature and Governorship, pledge it's electors to the winner of the popular vote for President in a state dominated by that party?

For example, if New Hampshire had a Dem Governor and razor thin margins in the legislature, could it say "NH will award its electors to the winner of the popular vote for president in the District of Columbia"? Could Florida do that with Wyoming?

At the end of the days laws only mean as much as we say they do.

A lot of people are OK with the idea of the person who wins the popular vote winning the presidency. Arguing over how that's enforced is just semantics.

I think it specifically goes against the intent and law of the Constitution.

I think it will further exacerbate regionalism.

I think it exposes the country to demagoguery because you won't need anywhere close to a majority to win. You don't now but at least you need a plurality across many and varied states.

I also think it creates a whole host of practical issues.

That would disenfranchise your own states voters so probably not (in the interstate compact your owns states voters at least count to the national majority).

So I suppose you could say NH + DC, which would be weird, but at least your states voters are heard.

States don't have an absolute right to determine how they pick electors. For example, and, this is obviously an extreme, but a state cant say we pick our electors by how white men vote.

If directly electing president there’s usually a 50 percent threshold with a runoff (Brazil, France). I guess Mexico would be an exception, although then you have Nieto winning with 38%.

That's really sad. Federalism is legit one of the best things about this country, and anyone who doesn't understand it or why we have it has a fundamental misunderstanding about this country and its founding.

"But in a country this big, and this diverse, we need more federalism, not less."

If we broke up the country into logical partitions based on this diversity then you'd have a point. That's not the case though. At the moment you have black southerners and white southerners trapped together. You have Miami in a state with the rest of Florida. You have Staten Island doomed to co-exist with the rest of NYC. If anything we should grant greater sovereignty to local governments.

Back when the only diversity that mattered was geographic location our system made perfect sense. Now? Eh.
