How is this bill constitutional? It disenfranchises the votes of Delaware’s citizens. If the voters of Delaware vote for the Republican for President, but the national popular vote is for the Democrat, Delaware’s electoral votes go for the democrat. If this is the case why vote in the state of Delaware for President?

Individuals voting is not part of the Constitutional process for choosing the President.

It can be challenged under the 14th Amendment:
Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state.
If it results in the electors being awarded an any basis other than the vote in that state, it's unconstitutional.
