Has popular vote compact support died out?

14. Each state is already allowed to decide how it wants to appoint its electors.

As long as the Electoral College system is in place, it doesn't matter what the minority of states in the popular vote compact do. Likewise, if the popular vote compact was in place, it wouldn't matter what the minority of states still using the Electoral College rules would do. The states holding a majority of electors to elect the president are the ones that will ultimately dictate who will be president.

And it would handicap blue states because they would be committed to a system that the majority is not committed to, meaning states that have not yet signed onto the popular vote compact essentially get two bites at the apple: one through the Electoral College and one through the popular vote.

And voters are already being disenfranchised much worse through the Electoral College system and it has already led to multiple instances just in the past seven elections or so where the candidate who received the most votes across the nation did not become the nation's president.
