Good point. However, the compact doesn't have all 270 votes yet. And all of the states that have joined the NPVIC are Blue, so the NVPIC won't change the outcome unless joined by a Purple or Red state. Moreover, the constitutionality of NVPIC is in doubt, and it might require the approval of Congress. If the GOP controls at least one chamber, such approval might not be forthcoming. As of now, then, the electoral vote is slightly biased toward the GOP candidate.

The NPVIC can turn the electoral college. As of January 2024, the NPVIC has been adopted by sixteen states and the District of Columbia. Together, they have 205 electoral votes, which is 38.1% of the Electoral College and 75.9% of the 270 votes needed to give the compact legal force.
