On End-running the Electoral College

I mentioned yesterday morning that I planned some comments on this article from the CSM, about the FairVote plan to circumvent the electoral college through some kind of inter-state compact. After I wrote that, I realized the subject seemed awfully familiar to me ... and thankfully I thought to check, since I had in fact written about the plan, back at the end of March. What I said then, in the post and in the ensuing comments, remains operative.
