A state legislature can now basically compel electors to vote for whoever the legislature wants.


I believe faithless electors are strictly defined as those not voting for the candidate that won the state. Therefore this ruling would prevent that. It has to go for the candidate that won the state.

states who want the compact will just change their laws to say the candidate who wins the national popular vote wins the state
