"The final national electoral vote count would not reflect how the nation voted. That’s bad accounting and makes for inaccurate history." This is only true if you look to the details of the electoral vote for history or accuracy. If the NPVIC passes that would be a pointless exercise since the electoral college will have been effectively circumvented. For history and accuracy you will look at the public voting data for the country and see that the final result does indeed reflect how the nation voted. Just because some obsolete intermediate step doesn't show the whole picture doesn't matter at all, just like you don't know how many steps your computer goes through to calculate any particular number. No one cares what votes the Oregonian senator submits as long as the right person is elected. If Oregon and some other state were to agree to always switch, that wouldn't matter at all since there would be no difference.
