This National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is nothing more than mode, a way to eliminate states in America. First it looked like "'regional government" which is abhorrent to those who support the concept of states that we were founded upon. As you noted this plan is dead (at least for now) May it remain so . Go to Wikipedia and read the list of those who signed on-----e.g. Arkansas naively gave its vote to Washinton, D C. as part of this pact. If I lived in Arkansas I assure you I would not want my states electoral votes lost to Washington, D.C. or to California. "Eight states and the District of Columbia, totaling 132 electoral votes, have signed on to a plan called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, a proposal that would use a workaround to guarantee that the winner of the national popular vote would win the Electoral College once states totaling a majority of 270 electoral votes had committed to the plan. Such efforts would presumably gain steam if the Pennsylvania plan were adopted, as would proposals for changes to the Constitution."
