Answer

Brief Explanations:

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is an agreement among states. The goal is to have states pledge their electoral votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote. It doesn't abolish the Electoral College (so A is wrong). It's about the national popular vote, not getting rid of the popular vote (B is wrong). Option D is about proportional allocation within a state, which is not the focus of the compact. The key is committing all electoral votes to the national popular - vote winner.

Answer:

C. Commits all electoral votes from each state to the winner of the national popular vote
