    isn’t there an alliance of states who agree to elect their votes to the majority winner?

    There is, but the legality of this compact is still in the hands of the SCOTUS. And the math problem is the same. You’d need a majority of EC votes, when states with that majority are controlled by Republican governors and legislators. If you look at the list, it’s just a litany of states that already reliably vote Dem.

    Talk to me when Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Nevada join. Even then, I guarantee this gets challenged and thrown out in a 6-3 SCOTUS decision.
