No, if the national popular vote is enacted, the majority opinion among citizens will control the government at the national level. States will have nothing to do with it, that's the point of a popular vote.

It baffles me that many Americans are ok with the current rule-by-simpsons-paradox that we have.

Because of the electoral college, combined with the cap on the size of the house, less populous states are overrepresented in the house, Senate, and presidency. That's not what the founders intended, and it's a mistake that should be corrected.

Clearly you did not read my original post, as I am not opposed to reforms I am opposed to eliminating the Electoral College

Better reforms include

* Enacting the Wyoming Rule

* Eliminating Gerrymandering, I want to use the other non political division to choose congressional districts. Counties, Postal Codes, Phone Area Codes something else

* Proportional Electoral College: Each Congressional District will vote for the President instead of Each State

* Instant Run Off Voting: First past the post needs to end.

* returning the Senate to the States

These are just a few reforms that I support
