Yes. The “Popular Vote Compact” is the next big crisis as I see it. It needs to be declared unconstitutional.

It isn’t unconstitutional. This decision says that the states can tell the electors how to vote. Therefore they can tell the electors to vote for the National Popular Vote winner.

State legislatures have plenary power to determine how electors are apportioned. That includes the National Popular Vote.

The legal and constitutional argument against NPV would be based on Article IV's "republican form of government" clause.
