Opinion of the National Popular vote interstate compact?

[Vosem]

The problem with NPV on the scale of a country like America is that if a result is very, very close then it's totally impractical to conduct any sort of recount or dispute it in any way, which makes the Electoral College a very useful intercession (along with reaffirming the federalist nature of the nation). It would probably be a lot better, and a lot more democratic, if the states were to use a proportional method to divide their Electoral College votes (would also have the advantage of giving more states occasional turns at being swing states, and ensuring large states always receive some attention from presidential candidates).
