    You have more faith than I do. If Oregonians thought their vote was overturned because of a national popular vote winner, there would be riots.

      Their vote wasn’t “overturned” their vote counted just as much as anyone else’s they just lost.

        Under the multi-state pact, if Oregon voted overwhelmingly for Harris, but Trump won the national popular vote, and our electoral college votes were delivered to Trump because of the popular vote, yeah, that would be overturning the will of Oregon voters and there would be riots.

          So when one town votes for trump and Harris wins the state the votes of that town are “overturned” by the state then?
