The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

a Popular Vote Compact is unenforceable on the states that join it. It can be broken at any time.

It is a state law in each state that approved it. Any voter in a state can sue to have it enforced. There WILL be legal teams to help either side if such a situation arises.

Remember: The newly-elected *state* officials do NOT take office until the next year. The EC voters have already been chosen AND their votes cast in mid-December.

THAT is what stopped Pence from overturning any EC votes on Jan 6, 2021. He had no valid legal means to reject/overturn any of the already-cast EC votes from mid-December 2020.
