    It’s more than a “handshake”. States are actually passing laws for this. Plus there’s nothing stopping you from going above 270 electoral votes

    Once it’s been in effect for a while, it would make a formal constitutional ammendment to fully remove it a lot easier to get though

      Once it’s been in effect for a while

      It will never be in effect “for awhile”. If they ever get to 270, it will last one election cycle at most. More likely, it will be dissolved between the time it comes into effect and the first general election afterward.
