In an earlier post, I described some of the constitutional problems with the National Popular Vote Compact. (The plan is actually mislabeled, since  electoral votes would go to the plurality winner, even if the overwhelming majority of the popular vote was cast against him—something that happens regularly in countries that, like Mexico, choose presidents by pluralities.) In this Freedom Minute, I mention some of the other problems with the scheme.
