I'm not a fan of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

[Think. Again.]

30. Dissenting states would not have to agree to the compact...

...for the compact to respect the popular vote.

And if republican states won't accept the popular vote (as the Electoral College allows them to now), then their choice in President should be over-ruled by the popular choice.

The compact uses the wrongful permanance of the EC against itself and holds all states, UNITED, to the popular vote, fairly distributing the vote among each voter in every state and not merely among the political make-up of the states which has nothing to do with who the people of the country as a whole want for the specific office of President.

If, the republican Presidential choice IS the popular position, then America is a true Democracy even if WE, as the minority in the popular vote, don't like who that Democracy brings us. If third or fourth or fifth party choices become strong enough to threaten our candidate's chances, that leverage they hold must be respected also. "Country before Party" applies to us too.

The will of the majority of voters has been denied using the electoral college, that is wrong in a true Democracy and can be corrected by the compact.
