Her is the NPV take on the SCOTUS ruling today:

The National Popular Vote law was not the subject of these cases, and the decision does not affect the operation of the National Popular Vote law. Both the current system and the National Popular Vote system rely on political parties to vet and select presidential electors who will faithfully vote for the party's presidential nominee. The Supreme Court's decision allows states to pass laws requiring presidential electors to faithfully cast their votes. The National Popular Vote organization has previously endorsed the “Uniform Faithful Presidential Electors Act” written by the Uniform Law Commission in 2010. The Supreme Court decision makes clear that the Uniform Law Commission's proposed law is constitutional.

The National Popular Vote Compact would operate in a manner identical to the system that has been used for over 200 years in the 18 states that do not have laws requiring presidential electors to vote a certain way. In these 18 states (which currently use the state-by-state winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes), the presidential electors are nominated (in various ways -- typically by a party conventions at the district or state level) by the political party whose presidential candidate receives the most popular votes inside the state. The National Popular Vote Compact would operate in the same way, except the presidential electors would be the persons nominated by the political party whose presidential candidate receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
