That's a fallacy. The Electoral Votes of smaller states in the compact would be awarded based on the popular votes of the larger states in the compact. You would have to take the total of the electoral votes in the compact (270) and divide it by the number of states in the compact (?) to get the true EV per state in the compact.

Tell me that's not a rebalancing of Electoral Votes between the states?

538 electors will still be apportioned to, and have votes for each state and the District of Columbia, equal to the number of members of Congress to which the state is entitled, while the Twenty-third Amendment grants the District of Columbia the same number of electors as the least populous state, currently three. In total, there are and will be 538 electors, corresponding to the 435 members of the House of Representatives, 100 senators, and the three additional electors from the District of Columbia.
