So how does this affect the National Popular Vote movement that binds the casting of a state's electoral vote to the results of the national popular vote using state compacts?

I have the same question. Faithless Electors (those who go against their state's "will" via the states vote) can be outlawed by the State, but what about when a state SANCTIONS faithless electors via the National Popular Vote compact some states have entered into?

Yes, that “little conspiracy” is floating along, (deliberately) staying below the water level of the news media observations and comments.

“So how does this affect the national popular vote movement”

I would think that would be a different issue for SCOTUS. In that case states are forcing electors to vote against the will of the people in favor of the national popular vote. In this case SCOTUS said forcing electors to vote with the will of the people is ok.

It should be determined by Congress if States can make compacts, but with the split Houses, it probably would not be determined. It is even in the Constitution, that it is up to Congress whether or not Compacts can be formed by some or all States.
