Dem Lt Gov is gatekeeper for what gets voted on. Some horse trading is possible. Texas is not disadvantaged by popular vote president because it is a large state. Does senate need to approve new gerrymandering?
It would be pretty screwed if a Governor could unilaterally decide to change how a state’s participation in the presidential election without even a majority of the Senate.
I would not be shocked that if the pact ever did one day come to actually mean something for someone to come along and sue over it because it ends up going against some state’s constitution and they only passed it as a law not an amendment.
They still have a Republican state Senate looks like.
