...state-by-state initiative to establish a National Popular Vote...

Anybody else see the supreme irony of that?

The real problem here is not merely that NPV gives disproportionate representation to the big population centers. It might even be possible to make a rational argument for that but only — and here is the real issue — if we intend to jettison the federal system and replace it with an even larger, more powerful, central government. That is the real agenda of the left. Centralized consolidation of power. NPV is just one of the means to achieve it.
