Possible results in California if its electoral votes were determined by the national popular vote.

D wins national popular vote, D wins California: no change

D wins national popular vote, R wins California: not likely, but the California leftists would be happy

R wins national popular vote, R wins California: possible, but no change to result

R wins national popular vote, D wins California: much wailing and gnashing of teeth from California

R wins national popular vote, D wins California, California's votes push the Republican over 538 electoral votes: heads explode in California. State sues itself in federal court trying to overturn its own law.

You are no doubt right. The left only follows the law when it serves their goals. I have ZERO doubt they’d try to overturn their own law in this particular circumstance, and they’d probably do it on the grounds that it’s unconstitutional. As much as I love to see the left confronted by their own nonsense, I’d rather not see another national election go the SCOTUS.
