The SCOTUS precedence is that the Constitution creates a government over the people, not an agreement between states. In fact, it was intentionally created it that way because they tried that and it failed. If the all of the people have the ability to learn about the candidates for POTUS, then each person should have an equal vote for the position.

Talking of the Constitution, How does SCOTUS interpret this:

"Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of senators and representatives to which the state may be entitled in the Congress."


The framers did not want it to be a popular vote. If you support popular vote, that is fine; but don't point to the Constitution for support.
