Interesting twist from my state, and its 10 electoral votes. Bill introduced to create a small-scale version of this, where MD and another red state with the same electoral votes would join in a bilateral pact to just do this on our own. The weakness in the specifics is that the natural counterpart is Wisconsin, and they were only red last go-round by a narrow margin, and are really more purple (or if you're Clinton2016, solidly blue).

It won't pass... but it's yet another clever assault on the electoral college, and as far as I'm concerned, the more the merrier.
