This is one more reason to hate the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The Electoral College needs to go, but blue states making a symbolic stand by awarding their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner just willfully cedes an advantage to a party that has no intention of responding in kind. And now, if Trump actually tries to pull the shit in the Atlantic article, they can point to the precedent that these states set when they ignored the popular vote total in their own state.
