There is a difference between a uniform act and a compact. A compact is a
binding agreement between 2 or more states so that one state could force
another state to conform its behavior to the agreement.
On the other hand, a uniform act simply binds one state to follow its own law
-- even if the uniform law relates to how it will treat the actions of
another state.
If the proposed Electoral College reform were structured so that it was a
uniform law, not a compact, I think it would withstand constitutional
scrutiny.
