After lower courts split on the question, the U.S. Supreme Court decided today it will hear a case to decide whether presidential electors are bound to support the popular vote winner in their states or can opt for someone else.

If the Supreme Court does rule that Electors must vote for the popular vote winner in their state, there goes the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact movement that tries to give their electoral votes to the overall national vote winner.

Wrong.
If the state decides to be part of that compact, it ties its electoral votes to the national popular vote. So it would force the electors to vote for the national vote winner.
