There’s nothing complex about it. The SC shouldn’t even be hearing this case. The Constitution (not that it matters anymore) says the states decide how to award their EVs. A state could award its electors based on which league wins the World Series.

Would you apply that same logic to the "National Popular Vote Initiative?"

States are not allowed to enter into a Compact unless Congress allows it, IIRC.

that invalidates the local vote entirely. you can award electors that way without even holding an election in your state.

It also opens the door to voters in other states demanding a Federal recount of votes in California and NY since it determines the electors in another state.
