Couldn’t they just leave out the word “Compact”?
After all, there’s no need for the Governors to get together and make a formal treaty. All that’s needed is for a bunch of states with over 270 Electoral votes too all pass similar laws, assigning their electoral votes according to the national tally instead of the state one.
If a foreigner may be so bold, I don’t quite see how that could be unconstitutional. Presumably it would be ok for a dozen states to have identical laws about the death penalty or sales taxes, so why not about how they cast their electoral votes? Please note I do not advocate NPV (none of my business anyway, really) but just don’t see any particular ground for declaring it unconstitutional, as distinct from just inadviseable.
