But the electors of the electoral college are still not aligned with equal representation because of the various state populations.

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact would turn the mechanism of the electoral college into a result equivalent to a national popular vote.

The wikipedia article doesn't go into details about resolving issue around disenfranchised voters and vote counting, such as hanging chads or uncounted mail-in ballots. In other words, the compact states are binding themselves to a popular vote count that non-compact states have no incentive to get accurate.

Under the current system, aren't states binding themselves to an electoral college vote count that unscrupulous states have no incentive to get accurate?
