I’m pretty sure you’re right. The Constitution gives the states great leeway on how their electors are assigned. The “National Popular Vote Interstate Compact” stinks, as it gives too much power to the big states.

But Connecticut votes still get counted, and those votes still have an impact. So the Supreme Court will not interfere.

"I’m pretty sure you’re right. The Constitution gives the states great leeway on how their electors are assigned."

The states have leeway in determining how their electors are SELECTED, but that does not mean they can tell the electors how to VOTE. I think they Supreme Court would view this law as a backhanded effort to effectively abolish the electoral college as a meaningful entity. If every state passed a law like this, EVERY presidential election would end up being a 100% electoral college landslide; that is NOT consistent with intent of the Constitution.

It gives them great leeway, but there are limits. Article 4 Section I states that the states shall guarantee a Republican form of government. The 14th Amendment Article 2 states that if the election doesn’t allow voters to pick their representatives, they lose those representatives. 14th Amendment Article 1 guarantees equal protection under the law, including the right to vote.
