Of the three or four elections where the electoral vote didn't match the popular vote Democrats came out on the losing end every single time.

That's what this movement is about across the various states and nothing else.

Isn’t there a “not” missing before “count”?

How about we split the electoral votes by percentage?

There are a couple scenarios that probably have not been thought through on this:

1. In a two-way race, a candidate could theoretically WIN enough states to reach the 270 electoral vote threshold - YET, still LOSE the popular vote. Any states that he won [who are part of the compact] would then switch their votes and the other candidate MIGHT go over the top electorally.

2. In a three-way race, NONE of the candidates might get at least 50% of the popular vote AND NONE of them might reach the 270 electoral vote threshold - BUT, the leading candidate MIGHT receive compact states’ electoral votes from the others and could CONCEIVABLY go over the top. Kinda negates the provisions of Article II, Section I and the 12th Amendment concerning the selection of the President and Vice President when a plurality has NOT been reached.
