Well explained. My remaining hesitation is about the response of self-identified "real Americans" to the first time this goes into effect. There will be those in Wisconsin, say, who will claim that their votes were stolen, if that state agrees to this, and changes all its electoral votes for a Republican, say, to a Democrat,.because the Democratic candidate wins the popular vote elsewhere but not in Wisconsin. NPV is rational and small d democratic. But that will not convince many Americans if it goes into effect.
That's a real possibility -- another January 6, perhaps. But the status quo is pretty awful, too. Worse than I realized, before I knew how heavily it tilts toward the GOP.
