I’m curious about the States which changed their electoral votes to reflect national popular vote and what impact this would have on Romney.

Basically the change should be insignificant. Romney may gain 1 in Maine and lose 2 in NE. If he wins NH and Ohio that will be an insignificant difference

None. This law is not effect for two reasons.

1. Not enough states have approved the law. If the did it would favor RR because three of the States are California, Ilinois, and Maryland.

2. They may face a constituitonal challenged, which is not clearcut, because state compacts require, per the constitution, approval from Congress. However, the Constituiton allows state to assign electors however they want.
