A few more conservative states have signed onto the compact. I think most Republicans (individuals) would support it, the leadership is all realpolitik but normal folk do believe in the basic idea of democracy, especially something simple to explain like this. Republicans won the legislature in Florida the same year people voted to give felons voting rights... the electorate is more principled on these things than the parties. (I suppose that makes sense, it doesn't actually affect the electorate nearly as much as it affects elected officials.)
