There is no way the EC is going away. Those behind the National Popular vote plan understand that, and think this is a way for the big states to work around it.
If the NPV plan ever gets the support it needs, participation by states with 270 EC votes, years of law suits will quickly ensue, challenging the legality and constitutionality.
And if it gets states with 270 EC votes, there is nothing to keep those states in the compact. The first time a state's popular vote is for one party, but the compact forces it to give its EC votes to the other party, there will be hell to pay at the state capital.
