Imagine that Texas has turned blue and decided to join the pact. With 40 votes from Texas the pact could go into force. Now let's say that in 2028 we have a very close presidential election. The Democrat wins the popular vote. But Texas reverts back to being a red state, and decides to leave the pact, thus getting the Republican candidate to be president. There's nothing the other states in the pact could do about it.
Depends when the EC voters are chosen (vote year or next year?). Who wins the popular vote?
If Dems win, then the EC votes Dem if they are selected in 2028. THEN it gets even more fun, because there MAY exist *state* laws that require "faithless electors" NOT be counted and be replaced with "faithful electors". Once again, based on 2028 vote OR some other *opinion* someone doesn't like because they LOST the 2028 election?
