I'd love to see opponents of the National Popular Vote mount a robust
defense of the House of Representatives in a one-vote-per-state-delegation
selecting the President (the result of a not-implausible tie in electoral
votes).

Because, after all, that is what they are defending. A tie will eventually
occur. Let us hope that the National Popular Vote compact is established
and confirmed by the Supreme Court before that mathematical certainty rears
its ugly head.
