Much as I agree that the Electoral College system is unfair and unrepresentative, I think it’s unrealistic of the Sun-Times and others to say that the National Vote Interstate Compact is going to solve the problem. All of the 15 state legislatures and the District of Columbia that have signed on to this compact so far have voted Democratic for president in at least the last four elections and none are currently “swing states.”
The way to get rid of the Electoral College is through a constitutional amendment. That requires agreement from two-thirds of both the House and the Senate and ratification by three-fourths of the states.
