It won't.

It is a compact that won't go into effect until enough states pass it. They are still pretty far from that number, and then it will end up in court.

2024 would be the earliest it could possibly go into effect.

Yup.

They love diversity.

They want people of different skin colors (except white) and sexual orientation (except straight) and different nationalities (except American) and different religions (except Christianity) and different viewpoints (unless it's different from their own viewpoint).

Yay diversity!

Democracy-style election was frowned upon the American founding fathers. Jefferson equated democracy to mass populism. Nowadays, we have more uninformed voters especially those who immigrated and are naturalized. Many cannot read English and don’t understand or know the US constitution.

Direct democracy like Switzerland requires an informed citizenry. We are far from having an informed citizenry with tens of million voters who can bare speak or write English.
