If you haven’t heard about the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, it’s a way to get around the requirement to amend the Constitution in order to abolish the Electoral College. Instead, once the winner of the national popular vote is known, states that are part of this Compact will automatically allocate all of their electoral votes to the winner.
Once enough states have joined the compact to constitute 270+ electoral votes, game over for the Electoral College. I assume there’s something in the compact about “faithless electors”.
Minnesota is not part of the compact.
