re: Maine joins unConstitutional National Popular Vote states

How exactly would Maine determine who won the popular vote?
Would the Maine Secretary of State have to audit the election results of 49 states?
What if one of the states is contested. Or multiple states for that matter? When is Maine decided? A court in a rando other state is going to decide Maine’s electors? That seems weird.
Plus does Maine have even have an election? And if so, how does it count its own voters votes? What if the candidate who wins Maine loses the “popular vote” (whatever the frick “popular vote” means. There is no reference in the constitution to the “popular vote.” In the COTUS).
So does Maine will then ignore the votes of its own citizens? That seems to violate the principle of one man one vote, when some dude in Chicago’s vote counts 2x as much as the guy in Maine who voted for someone else.
This is a ridiculous idea untethered by the constitution and grounded solidly in collectivism. Like all Democommunist principles.

This is a great question. As far as I’m aware, there is no federal level tally of national votes.
