99% of voters in, say Ohio could vote for one candidate, yet the (clearly) overwhelming will of the voter would be thwarted should Ohio's votes go to the opposing candidate if the state joined the compact.

And this points out the 14th amendment problem - equal protection. It nullifies the vote of the voters of Ohio and turns their decision over to the voters in other states.

I quote the 14th ammendment:

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any Statenor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Oregon does not have jurisdication over the voters of Ohio and vice versa and does not owe the citizens of Ohio any say.
