Isn’t this really about that compact of states to have their electors vote for the popular vote winner regardless of how their state votes?

That’s a whole different issue - whether the states have the power to enter into an agreement with other states that could have the effect of disenfranchising their own citizens. Isn’t there a clause in the Constitution that guarantees us a “republican” [small “R”] form of government? Why, yes - YES, there is: Article IV, Section 4:

“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government....”

I would make the argument that a compact of the States to have the EVs of each participating state be given to the winner of the popular vote nationwide is violative of Article IV, Section 4.
