So now I don't get a vote?

And I think the states have every right to do an end run to do away with it, just as the Feds have been doing end runs around states rights for a couple of centuries.

It's within states' rights to do what they want with their electoral votes, including the rights to band together with other states to make the Constitution irrelevant on this point.

It may not be the most direct or ethical way to get to an ethical result ... but this is politics we're talking. And I find this solution to be among the least politically sleazy solutions ever proposed.
