...amend the Constitution. Should be a piece of cake.

I will tell you this from experience: I live in NY and some of the state legislators I've talked to about this issue don't have a CLUE how NPV works. They have no idea they'll be giving away our electoral votes to candidates who lose the state. And even less of an idea that the apparent winner could be winning based on hacked elections.

The reason they vote for NPV is because of lobbying from well-funded but ill-informed advocates with no effective opposition from those without the funding.
